Yesterday was a tough day all around for me ;<
First, there was the client from h*ll and his neverending problems that
couldn't wait for a weekday.
Then, I struggled with sshd in RC4.
And, last evening, when I cam home, I had ~300 mail processes *stuck* in
the process table, including that many /proc/<numeral>/fd's.
When I tried manually running:
/usr/local/bin/mailonerr moe.config
I got my ubiquitous ``broken pipe'' error -- not once; but, three times
in a row.
Once I changed this, in mailonerr:
} | mail -s "$subject" $mailto # my edit
to this:
} > $prefix.msg
mail -s "$subject" $mailto < $prefix.msg
Everything started working again, after mass-killing those hung
processes.
Therefore, I concluded that the pipe was the source to my problems.
Today, I test the pipe (|) and it works -- go figure ;>
OK, Charles, again, I am wrong and stand corrected . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
