I was recently looking at some of the utilities which came with the ELM package... Would someone please explain the proper usage of 'newmail' and 'wnewmail'? This is what I would LIKE it to do (so please tell me if it works) - My mail arrives at one machine on a cluster of 33. (It's not exactly a server, just a centralized address.) Since all machines use the same server, mail received on one is mail received on all. The catch is this: only mail explicitly addressed to me on the machine to which I'm curently connected will beep on my screen via biff. (Example: All mail goes to alan@hercules.acpub.duke.edu - If I'm logged in on hercules when mail comes in, it will beep 'new mail' or something like that. If I'm logged in on as alan@teer18.acpub.duke.edu, there will be no beep when mail comes in addressed to hercules - However, if I enter elm from teer18, the hercules mail will be waiting for me). Basically, I want notification of ANYTIME my /usr/spool/mail/alan receives a new message... Alan p.s. PLEASE reply via mail ---------------- (I'm not responsible for the stupid sig that follows) -- ============================================================================= Extended Bulletin Board Service, Research & Development Office of Information Technology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill internet: bbs.acs.unc.edu or 128.109.157.30
