I have created a very simple script:

 

#!/bin/bash

# tailmail

 

tail -f /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

 

and so can now type "tailmail" from command prompt to get the maillog.

 

I now want to be able to type:

"grep spamdyke mail"

instead of 

grep spamdyke /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

 

to save me time.  But a script which is:

 

#!/bin/bash

# mail

 

/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

 

does not work and says "grep: mail: No such file or directory"

 

Can someone tell me how to basically create a new shell builtin script that
will allow me to do that please?  I feel that I must be close!

 

Thanks you, as always, in advance for any assistance.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Christoph
