Dangerous. You're starting two concurrent processes, one reading from a

Ritesh and Murray,
I was able to write a nice perl script to go into each home directory
on our server and change the SMTP. Just wanted to thank you for the
quick response saving me a lot of time. I'm going to try a similar
bash script that uses sed without the gconftool, it works from comma
Hi,
I just had to modify the smtp server for about 1500 users - see
script below :-)

Hi everyone,
I have looked through the archives and done a couple dozen grep's in my
home folder, but I can't find where evolution stores your account setup
