An extremely simplistic cli tool to emit amazon ec2 events. This might be useful with this whole aws reboot "gate".
$ make
$ cd bin
#
## To send alert to yourself when there's an event
#
$ ./aws-ec2-events \
-key=<aws access key id> \
-secret=<aws secret access key> \
-alert_email=<email where you will recieve alerts> \
-imap_username=<imap username> \
-imap_password=<imap password>
#
## OR just take a look at what events your instnaces may have ...
#
$ ./aws-ec2-events -key=<aws access key id> -secret=<aws secret access key>
