While cleaning up my /usr/lib/crontab I found these two lines: 30 3 * * * /bin/su root -c "/usr/bin/memo -m > /dev/null" 30 3 * * * /bin/su root -c "/usr/bin/email -m > /dev/null" I have neither "memo" nor "email" in /usr/bin. I assume that these are for some software package which I don't have. Can anyone shed some light on these two lines? Thanks, car.

That is indeed the case. > Can anyone shed some light on these two lines? /usr/bin/email is the program run when incoming mail is detected by smgr, and you mouse click on the envelope icon. I don't know what AT&T's email is supposed to do entirely, but I hacked up an email program to run elm in a window under the currently logged in user. It's worked great for me. memo I've never heard of either. During installation of various software packages, certain system files can be modified. When I installed HoneyDanBer UUCP this week (thanks Lenny) my crontab was modified to include the changed UUCP administrative shell scripts. What have you installed recently? -- steve baur@venice.SEDD.TRW.COM
