A couple of months ago we moved our bbs from an AT&T 7300 to a 3B2/400. BBS users log on into individual accounts under the restricted shell (/bin/rsh). The BBS shell scripts which worked on the 7300 don't work on the 3B2 in a couple of cases, and I'm stumped! 1. Mail doesn't work. When a restricted shell user types mail, the 3B2 will accept the typed message, but doesn't seem to recognize CTRL-D or a period in the first postion on a line to send the message. 2. The line L=`expr $L + 1` generates a syntax error, though the script containing that line works perfectly under the standard shell (/bin/sh). Any hints or clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jan Harrington, sysop Scholastech Telecommunications seismo!husc6!amcad!stech!sysop
