Re: [ilugd] mails flushed but lost by fetchmail

2004-05-13 Thread Ish
Hi,

I've done it with procmail ... just add
mda procmail -d user_name
at the end of your .fetchmailrc file
this will move the mails for a particular user to
/var/spool/mail/user_name
obviously you'll need to check if you have procmail installed. I havent
played a lot with it so cant give you more details but have a look at man
pages.
my .fetchmailrc :

set postmaster igill
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties 
poll mail.softhome.net with proto POP3
   user 'ishpreetgill' there with password 'x' is 'ishpreetgill'
here
mda procmail -d igill


suggestion: saving password in .fetchmailrc can be dangerous for health
:)

Re: [ilugd] Bash Shell Scripting...

2004-05-12 Thread Ish

this error is displayed if you try to unmount cd/floppy  while working in
the directory in which cd/floppy is mounted.

so, to avoid the error, try unmounting the device from outside the mounted
device's folder .. also make sure that you are not cd'ed in that folder
from another terminal.

 Hi guys,
 pls help me out on this one...

 I'm making an automated shell script installer for Oracle9i. It'll
 copy the 3 cd's onto the hdd  start the installation. The prob is
 that after copying from the 1st cd, the Bash prompt gives the
 following error:-

 unable to unmount /dev/cdrom : busy
 (i dnt remember the exact words!)

 I get the same error when i use other cd's/floppy's.
 What is it due to  how can i forcefully eject my cdrom/floppy.
 Is it coz of the fact that the device is still busy doing some work
 (just a guess...). If so, how do i find out that which all devices are
 using my cdrom/floppy???

 thanx,
 Mayank Jain
