Hi!
Again me with SuSE 9.3... I like to receive a system messages to the user as mail. On earlier versions this works but now i don't now how to configure.
From /etc/aliases: # It is probably best to not work as user root and redirect all # email to "root" to the address of a HUMAN who deals with this # system's problems. Then you don't have to check for important # email too often on the root account. # The "\root" will make sure that email is also delivered to the # root-account, but also forwared to the user "joe". # root: joe, \root
root: YourUsername, \root
All this will do, if the root account is not logged into on a regular basis, is root's mail folder filling up. If the root account is rarely used only add your user name. Also, there is not that much system mail unless you have something running to create it. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
