MySQL - if field content meets condition, send email?

JT
Hi,

I'm sure this isn't a hard one, can someone help?

I'm adding a new record to a MySQL database every x seconds. I need
to be able to inspect the content of a certain field in this incoming
record and, when a condition is met, send an email.

I suppose I could have some script inspect the latest record every x
seconds and use sendmail, but I'm unfamiliar with scripting daemons on
Linux and was wondering if I can use MySQL itself to both watch for
the condition and call the sendmail script.

What would be the best way to go about it?

Thanks

JT
