In message <199503290236.MAA29753@orion.devetir.qld.gov.au> you write: >So, translating, someone like yourself could use an entry in /etc/aliases: > > ctm-cvs-cur: "| /foo/bar/ctm_incoming" > >and have /foo/bar/ctm_incoming contain something like: > > #! /bin/sh > PATH="your favourite path" > export PATH > cd /place/for/goodies || exit 1 This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Do people actually *like* seeing "Returned mail: unknown mailer error 1"? For this particular case, I would suggest "exit 72", "Critical OS file missing", or perhaps "exit 69", "Service Unavailable". (/usr/include/sys/sysexits.h) (the majordomo wrapper used to just exit(1), exit(2),... for impossible conditions. Impossible conditions happen all the time, everywhere around the world...)
