Try the `su' command with the -c switch. > (I don't want fetchmail sending unresolved eMails to root, but to > my account) You can set fetchmail to send the e-mail to another user (using something like "to [EMAIL PROTECTED]"), but obviously that only works if you are getting fetchmail to send all e-mail there, not if you are getting it to guess the recipient. > Can regular users also have boot scripts ? No, but then again regular users can't boot the machine, either... Jiri -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We'll know the future has arrived when every mailer transparently quotes lines that begin with "From ", but no-one remembers why.
