Here is try two at the end of line comment script for /etc/aliases. Can anyone do this more elegantly?
#!/bin/sh # Created so we can have end of line comments in /etc/aliases sed 's/#.*$//;/^$/d' < /etc/aliases > /tmp/aliases_tmp ; /usr/sbin/sendmail -bi -oA/tmp/aliases_tmp ; mv /tmp/aliases_tmp.db /etc/aliases.db Wietse wrote the cryptic note "All the supported features are in the DOCUMENTATION.". But I have a different question: is this as elegant as it gets? Is there a more clever solution using the DOCUMENTATION features that is available? Will the moving of the aliases.db cause other problems with postfix or postalias?
