Well, the concept isn't specifically related to Vinum; you could do
the same thing for an arbitrary event. I'm sure there's software
available out there, but I don't know anything I could recommend.
At a lower level, you could do this with syslogd. The man page
syslog.conf(5) shows an example:
# Pipe all authentication messages to a filter.
auth.* |exec /usr/local/sbin/authfilter
If you pipe the messages into something which recognizes the messages
("grep vinum") and mails them, you're most of the way there. But note
that Vinum messages tend to come in bunches, so you should probably
collect a bunch until they stop, then send the message.
