The following is concerning a Risc/System-6000 running AIX3.1.3002 I have the following entry in my /usr/lib/aliases file for msgs: # Aliases to handle mail to msgs and news msgs: "|/usr/ucb/msgs -s" But I'm having a problem with the msgs command. Every time a new messages is posted to the machine, entering "msgs" rereads every message on the system, not just the last one. In other words, a new message somehow corrupts .msgsrc. I have in my .login the command "msgs -fq" to check if new messages have been posted. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks. --Tim
