[comp.mail.mh] Help with forwarding to a shell

creubank@crls.sony.co.jp (Curtis Eubanks) (09/26/89)

I'm setting up a .forward file as follows:

\creubank, "| /bin/sed '1,/^Do this/d'|/bin/csh"

This should allow me to remotely execute a series of csh commands by
simply sending a message to myself with the shell commands following a
"Do this" line.

I'm getting such mail returned with a "getwd: can't stat ." error.
Can someone explain this?  I'm running it on Sun 4.
