Send an email, if a counter shows a signal

The following virtual counter reads physical counter and sends an email to a user, if the count rate is above some value. Motor positions are included and the scan is interrupted:

if( $method =~ /reset/i)
{
  return 1;
}

if( $method =~ /read/i)
{
  my $counts = Rc("eh1a_c01");
  if( $counts > 100)
  {
     my $p29 = Spectra::gmup( "oh1_mot29");
     my $p25 = Spectra::gmup( "oh1_mot25"); 
     system( " echo \"$counts counts at p29 $p29, p25 $p25 \" | mail -s c01 user.name@desy.de"); 
     $Spectra::SYM{ interrupt_scan} = 1;
     return 1;
   } 
}
