this lmailalert sends a winpop message to the users(all are windows users).
This error occurs when that particular machine is not switched on. So this
script fails to send the message. Is there any way to avoid it.
I have added the following lines in the user's .forward file.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"|/usr/bin/lmailalert \"Mail Server\" \"logu-si\" \"Hi Logu.. You have a
new mail.\""
Here is the script
-----------------------------start--------------------
#!/bin/bash
#by Logu
f=$1
t=$2
if [ $3 ] ; then
shift 2
mesg=$*
/bin/echo $mesg|/usr/bin/smbclient -M "$t" -U "$f" > /dev/null
exit 0
fi
/bin/echo "Sends a winpop message to the netbios user or machine "
/bin/echo "Usage: $(basename $0) {from name to display}
{netbios(machine|user)to send} {message}"
/bin/echo ""
