hi,
i been fiddling with this for a while now and have
not been able to get it to fly so i thought i'd ask
the experts.
i'd like to get somekind of notice when i receive mail
so i have this in my .maildelivery file
* - ^ R /usr/bin/rcvtty -nobell*
but this doesn't seem to do anything.
according to the jerry peaks book rcvtty will send
a message to all shells listed in my /var/run/utmp
file, which doesnot seem to be ascii file so i can't
see which shells are registered.
one possible problem is that when i run 'who' i get
%who
simon tty1 Apr 20 18:22
but there are 4 xterms up so i'm not sure why they
don't get mentioned in the who output.
when i check the message status in all my xterms i get
%mesg
is y
so it seems the xterms are setup ok, but maybe not..
i'm running nmh-1.0.3-6x on redhat 6.1
thx in advance for your insight.
rgds. -simon-
