Hey everyone: Found the problem. Thanks to Anton the suggestion, as he was correct. If you noticed in the e-mail I sent, my mail binary was 69 bytes long. That is NOT right, I didnt notice that before. When I did a 'cat /bin/mail', I got this: gio@netapp:$ cat /bin/mail /etc/mail/aliases: 445 aliases, longest 220 bytes, 16948 bytes total gio@netapp:$ It appears that the mail binary was overwritten by output from a newaliases command. Its been like that ever since I started here..., and I was tryin to write a script using the /bin/mail binary, and never could figure out what was wrong. Thats the issue, I replaced the binary with a good one and it works just fine. Thanks to everyone who replied, gl hf, and have g'day. =D -- ------------------------------------------------------- Giovanni Navarrette USLink Internet Systems Administrator e-Mail :: gio@uslink.net _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Jul 26 16:37:13 2002
