Oups... Indeed. &quot;download&quot; folder has been lost during a Wordpress migration (as it&#039;s not a standard folder)
I think I found an old backup (restored &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.beatificabytes.be/download/ds3617_6.2.zip&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;ugc&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;). But this is so old that I have no idea if it will still run today.
Especially, this is a DSM 6.2, deprecated and that can&#039;t be update to 7.x]]></description>

I am not myself an expert in creating the loader for these VM. I guess that DSM updates come with some changes that are not compatible anymore with the loader, like address where the loader expect some info ?!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you very much for this fantastic WORKING step-by-step guide!
I was able to install it on VMWare Workstation v17 thanks to your ZIP-package and instructions.

Just 1 question:
Why can we not upgrade this DSM? 
I really don&#039;t understand the reasons behind it.]]></description>

After some quote syntax error, probably because of this crappy forum website, it actually works even on DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3.

I fixed and beautified it (hopefully copy pasting it works on this website):
#!/bin/bash

# Send a notification email via the NAS. Parameters are: TAG_EVENT VARLIST value1 value2 value3 …
# Tested on DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 6 and DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 2

function nas_notify() {
  # TAG_EVENT names the email template to be used (see /usr/syno/synoman/webman/texts/enu/mails for the English list)
  local TAG_EVENT=$1
  
  # VARLIST is the list of variables used in the email template (without the surrounding % signs)
  # Note: Some variables, eg HOSTNAME, are set by the NAS and shouldn’t be included here
  local VARLIST=$2
  
  # The values to be assigned to the variables in the above list are in $3 $4 $5 …
  local NTFYJSON=&quot;&quot;
  local V VAL
  
  # Values start at this parameter
  local I=3
  
  # This command does the notify
  local NTFY_CMD=&quot;/usr/syno/bin/synonotify&quot;
  
  # Create the variable/value list in almost JSON format. The NAS surrounds each variable name with % signs so we do, too
  if [ &quot;$VARLIST&quot; != &quot;&quot; ]; then
    for V in $VARLIST; do
      eval VAL=\$$I
      NTFYJSON=&quot;${NTFYJSON},\&quot;%${V}%\&quot;: \&quot;${VAL}\&quot;&quot;
      I=$((I + 1))
    done
	
    # Drop the leading comma from NTFYJSON and enclose the result in braces for actual JSON
    NTFYJSON=&quot;{${NTFYJSON:1}}&quot;
  fi
  [ -x &quot;$NTFY_CMD&quot; ] &#038;&#038; &quot;$NTFY_CMD&quot; &quot;$TAG_EVENT&quot; &quot;$NTFYJSON&quot;
}

nas_notify &quot;ShareSyncError&quot; &quot;S2S_SERVER S2S_TASK DUR&quot; &quot;${BASH_SOURCE[0]}&quot; &quot;Message about the failure&quot; &quot;0 days 0 hours 0 mins 1 secs&quot;
