I'm not familiar with the "!bg" directive, but it's reasonably likely that you'd need to quote the pipeline in order for it to be parsed correctly: !bg 'ifconfig tun0 | mail -s "IP Address" my_mail@my_domain.com' (for example -- not sure if the quotes I used will work; depends on how the file is parsed). david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
