Subj : Shell scripts to handle outgoing/incoming echomail. To : All From : j b l Date : Sat Apr 01 2017 08:09 pm Hi, I have a situation (my recent crop of test messages), I have a script that does this: 1) Copy/backup messages to a backup directory. 2) Zero out the message base file. 3) Post a new message. 4) Restore backed up messages. The problem is that it doesn't save the recent message(s). The message base file has to be zeroed out before I can post a new message to that message area. Anyone have an ideas?
