Umm, I just noticed the wrong thought I had there: There's no point in sending a notification mail message over a (yet) unconfigured email channel (we remember: sendmail is yet to start ...). Would an ALL_CAPITALIZED printout right next to the "echo ' sendmail'" suffice to catch the admin's attention? SENDMAIL CONFIG FILES RENAMED, LOOK AT /etc/mail! or some such? With a pointer to the sendmail RELNOTES or where the file renaming motivation is explained? Or am I completely in need of sitting down and rethinking again and the present $NEWFILE with a not yet running sendmail daemon is enough to send out(! not receive from the net) a message to the local postmaster? I almost think it is ... Of course all this doesn't touch the point I made in replying: > I don't see (yet) how using a different .mc or .cf file than > the default(?) one would have an impact on the .cw file naming > convention.
