+Send notification with early errors
+===================================
+
+[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+RouterOS supports sending log messages via e-mail or to a syslog server.
+However this does not work early after boot if network connectivity is not
+yet established. For example log messages about reboot without proper
+shutdown may be missed:
+
+> router rebooted without proper shutdown, probably power outage
+
+The script collects log messages with severity `error` and sends a
+notification.
+
+Requirements and installation
+-----------------------------
+
+Just install the script:
+
+ $ScriptInstallUpdate early-errors;
+
+... and add a scheduler:
+
+ / system scheduler add name=early-erros on-event=":global WaitTimeSync; / system script { run global-wait; \$WaitTimeSync; run early-errors; }" start-time=startup;
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The notifications just require notification settings for e-mail and telegram.
