Sending e-mail on successful SSH login / detecting SSH log-ins

I found

Send email on SSH login using PAM

to be a great guide for setting up e-mail delivery for any successful log-in through SSH. My current script:

#! /bin/bash
if [ "$PAM_TYPE" != "open_session" ]; then
  exit 0
fi

cat <<-BODY | mailx -s "Log-in to ${PAM_USER:-???}@$(hostname -f) \
(${PAM_SERVICE:-???}) detected" mail@example.org
        # $(LC_ALL=C date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M (UTC%z)')
        $(env | grep '^PAM_' | sort)
BODY

exit 0
