Hi, Did you try devnull: |> /dev/null
Cheers SSR
From: Len Conrad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: can't pipe to /dev/null ? Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 11:20:35 -0600
in /etc/aliases:
devnull: |/dev/null
and:
# ll /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 Mar 19 11:13 /dev/null
but:
Mar 19 10:55:08 img10 postfix/local[41744]: 671235621: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=1, status=bounced (Command died with status 1: "/dev/null")
... is fixed with:
devnull: |cat>/dev/null
.... which gives:
Mar 19 11:13:51 img10 postfix/local[43231]: E5C4A5623: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: cat)
Mar 19 11:13:51 img10 postfix/local[43231]: E5C4A5623: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to file: /dev/null)
Piping into /dev/null has worked in the past, wondering why the cat command has become necessary?
