The next release of newmail has a modification so that newmail run from csh with "newmail &" will die when you logout on systems without job control. For systems with csh and job control, you could use the new newmail and put "/bin/kill -1 -1" in .logout. This probably has bad effects for root and if you are logged in more than once. Code for a better solution would be welcomed. -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us Ann Arbor, MI mailrus!b-tech!zeeff
