Recently our "mail" command has stopped working. What do I mean? Well, now when you type "mail" you get "No mail for XXX". If you type "mail -f /usr/spool/mail/XXX" things work fine, but "mail" alone doesn't work. I've been trying to find why this would happen in the ORA sendmail book, the ORA Essential Sys Admin book and anywhere else, but haven't had any luck. If anyone has any tips, I would appreciate hearing them. Thanks and have a good weekend. Chris chrisriley@aol.com (news isn't up yet either <grin>) root@hurricane.com
