So lets get started!

1. Login to your server and su to root,

2. cd  /root

3. vi .bashrc

4. Scroll to the end of the file then add the following:
echo 'ALERT - Root Shell Access (YourserverName) on:' `date` `who` | mail -s "Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1`" you@yourdomain.com

Replace YourServerName with the handle for your actual server
Replace you@yourdomain.com with your actual email address

5. Save and Exit the File

6. Give Excute Permission (Check file permission section  Click Here )

Now logout of SSH, close the connection and log back in! You should receive an email address of the root login alert a few minutes afterwards.
