Neil> Or perhaps try: "|cd /home/bart;./bug-responder.csh" I don't think, that that will work, if your mailer starts the csh. At least in early IDA cf's that was the case. We changed it to start /bin/sh. Is there any reason to start a csh from the mailer to deliver to the mailer "prog"? -- Michael Schmidt, FB 17, Uni-GH Paderborn, Warburgerstr. 100, D-4790 Paderborn, West Germany Mail: michael@pbinfo.UUCP or michael@uni-paderborn.de
