Well you need some kind of smtdaemon such as sendmail. When you have this type of question, rpm -q --requires XXX.rpm and the manpage or the packages website are very helpful and definitely a must read. Also fetchmailconf can be your friend in configuring your .fetchmailrc file. From the manpage: As each message is retrieved fetchmail normally delivers it via SMTP to port 25 on the machine it is running on (localhost), just as though it were being passed in over a normal TCP/IP link. The mail will then be delivered locally via your system's MDA (Mail Delivery Agent, usu ally sendmail(8) but your system may use a different one such as smail, mmdf, exim, or qmail). All the delivery- control mechanisms (such as .forward files) normally available through your system MDA and local delivery agents will therefore work.

The Gyzmo [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hello. I've written a short shell script to change my directory and
display the contents at once because I'm sick of having to do 'cd dir'
then 'ls -l'. My problem is that once the program is done executing, my
directory remains the same. Here's my script:
#!/bin/bash
cd $1
ls -lh | more
How can I solve this problem?
The shell invoked by the script is the one doing the cd'ing. Not your
shell.
A better faster and generally cool way to do this sort of thing is
with functions in your .bashrc (or other login init files)
For the the functionality you wanted above it would look like this:
cdl () { cd $1;ls -lh|more; }
NOTE: The spaces after/before {} are important.
The `;' after `more' is vital too.
NOTE: `cdl' is just an arbitrary name. It could be anything.
With that in .bashrc you would have a new command at the prompt.
Type: `cdl dir'
And presto: moved and listed.
In order to get it into your environment as you write it, you will
need to source .bashrc after inserting the line like:
source ~/.bashrc
You should be able to cut and paste the line above to get the idea of
what it will do.
Just put it in a file named test for now, to see what it does.
(remember to source what ever file you put it in)
source test
or
. test
hp Sorry, the last part there is incorrect. It doesn't work if you put
hp it in just any file.
hp It has to be a dot file. A file who's name begins with `.'
hp Try .test.
hp Maybe someone here can explain why it doesn't work in a file named
hp `test' but does in .test?
It sure should work from any filename, I suspect you are a trying to
run the file test from a bash shell where test is shell builtin and
shouldn't be used as a filename.
Try putting it into a different named file, such as testme .
