Under Readynas OS 6.5.0, I am unable to disable power on and off alerts. I therefore receive email alerts about those.
I consider this to be very bad design. My system power on and of each day just behind my back, so I annulay receive around 730 emails for useless alerts. The information might be valuable in some cases including for for me when I am away from the office. But this should be a choice to be alerted or not, In order to avoid the hassle, I am obliged to disable the whole alert system which means missing very valuable information regarding disk temperature for example.
I do not want to ignite a new discussion about the pros and cons of this: my personal opinion is made. So please refrain to explain why the all or nothing design is a good design.
My first question for Netgear employees that are involved in the forum. Any chance that this is modified in a next Readynas OS upgrade or not?
My second question is for other forumers: any way to change this via SSH? I do not care about voiding the guaranty.

I know of no way to change this with ssh. As you've likely already read, the usual workaround is to implement email filtering on the client (if you can). I agree that is inadequate, but I know of nothing better.
I think this has been posted as an "idea". I have up-voted it as it would be useful to me too. You should go in that section and up-vote. This seems to be the best way to get new features implemented. (Look at amazon cloud, "lots" of up-votes... added in 6.5.0)
I looked, and found where the alert data was stored (don't recall now), but I could not see a way to turn off anything that cannot be done via the UI. I did figure out how to turn alerts off completely, which I posted as an answer to my own question regarding it. Do a search if you decide to go that way.
