If I issue the *at* command with the -m option I always get a message that the program exited abnormally with the following error: Where are you? I get this message even though every command I have fed to *at* completes successfully. The maddening thing is that *at* works fine for other users on the same cube. One thing which is different about my account is that I changed my username back in version 0.9 (also changed the name of the login directory). However, I have checked the netinfo domain and the /etc/passwd file and can see nothing wrong with my account. Could someone with a little more insight into the workings of the atrun program give me some clues as to how I might let *at* know where I hang out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, John Schneider schneidj@nextasy2.ece.wsu.edu

I found that having the 'biff' command in the .cshrc caused this problem (probably because is was trying to decide which tty to send its messages to). I moved 'biff' to my .login, and I no longer get this message. Hope this helps.... Robert Hood -- California State University: Sacramento (916) 278-7402 INTERNET: hoodr@csus.edu <-- NeXT mail too!
