If what you presented in your message is actually the command you used, then it might be looking for some input from the keyboard - you don't illustrate having specified the particular file you want it to use following the '--mbox' option, you have "--ham" in that position on the line. I have not done any testing, so I can't say exactly how it would behave in that situation.

I'm trying to do the same thing with the ham command# sa-learn --showdots --mbox --ham but nothing's happening. When I did the spam command it showed a progression of dots and ended with a confirmation message of tokens found and 216 emails scanned. But with the ham command there's nothing happening - the cursor just dropped to the next line and it's been there for half an hour now. Is this normal?
