hi, Another non-root user question. How to send mail in queue by non-root user ? I do "sendmail -q" as root, but it's not convinent for me, because I connect internet as non-root user.

/usr/sbin/sendmail or put a link... I think it would be... ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/bin/smail and then use smail (or some other name) On 17-Apr-98 Jaeha Lee wrote:

hi, Thanks for your reply. I didn't know that sendmail can be run by non-root that simply. On Thu, 16 Apr 1998 gdb@freecar.com wrote:

Hello Jae, Perhaps I am not an expert at such things, but it seems you can run sendmail -q as non-root, it's just not on your path. Were you hoping sendmail would process the queues of all users? Try using /usr/sbin/sendmail -q and see if this works for you. Personally I would want to put this in the same script that does the dialup, so it happens automatically without me worrying about it. -josh
