Thank you; many replies suggest that the mailer (started from the Mmailer line) should return one of the values from /usr/include/sysexit.h. However, a single person has actually looked into the code, and she claims that only the [IPC] mail can be kept in queue. It seems I'll have to do some experimenting. -- Bjorn Engsig, ORACLE Europe \ / "Hofstadter's Law: It always takes Path: mcvax!orcenl!bengsig X longer than you expect, even if you Domain: bengsig@oracle.nl / \ take into account Hofstadter's Law"
