That is by design. The "hang" is actually the mail command waiting for your message. Type something like $ mail -s "test" you@yourhost testing ^D and, if everything is configured correctly, you should get the message. Alternatively, $ mail -s "test" you@yourhost < afile or $ echo testing | mail -s "test" you@yourhost should work too. It's been awhile since I have used or looked at multicron-p's pingcheck() or checkfreespace() . There hasn't been much discussion of them on-list lately, but it wouldn't surprise too much if they contain bugs. I get the impression they aren't used very often. Not sure both are still used, but as a heads-up, the SMTP server is defined in both /etc/lrp.conf and /etc/POSIXness.conf with different variable names. You may need to set both to get everything working properly. > Do I need the qmail.lrp package, or is bering able to send mails > as standard? Nope. For simple smtp client functionality, the POSIXness mail command should be sufficient. --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
