OK, I give up. How do I stop cron from sending mail to uucp to tell it that it has new mail ? I'm at 3002. If this is fixed in 300[35], I'll just wait for 3005. --Pierre Asselin, R&D, Applied Magnetics Corp. I speak for me.

Hopefully it's still fixed in 3005, as we've seen regression before.... -Steve -- "First we're going to cut it off, | Steve Adams - sma@devcom.com -or- then we're going to kill it." | uunet!devcom!sma Gen.

In your mail 'aliases' file (/usr/lib/aliases) set the "uucp" accounts to forward all of their mail to root. Then when something sends mail to the "uucp" accounts, it will forward to the root user account. BTW, cron will envoke a "bourne" shell to run any commands. If there is output from any part of the "command" (including the envocation of the shell - hence the message: "the output from you cron command: ... [YOU HAVE MAIL]") will be mailed to the user who owns the crontab file. Make sure that the shell has no "output" and you will not have any mail from cron. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |The views expressed herein, are the sole responsibility of the typist at hand| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |UUCP: pensoft!robin | |USNail: 701 Canyon Bend Dr. | | Pflugerville, TX 78660 | | Home: (512)251-6889 Work: (512)343-1111 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
