Dear List members I run a triple boot PC (MDK9.0,RH7.3 & Win98). To automate my mail retrieval process I thought of having a small shell script whose output I give below:
kppp -c "VSNL Net" sleep 30s sylpheed --receive-all& cd /home/srikanth/Lpages wget http://zdnetindia.com wget http://www.123india.com wget http://www.linuxtoday.com This I saved as netmail.sh and gave "chmod 755" to enable this to run as executable. when I gave ./netmail.sh in RH7.3 , it prompted me for root password to run KPPP, and KPPP ran, it connected to Internet. But that is all. The other steps of mail retrieval and webpage retrieval did not proceed. This same script runs flawlessly in Mandrake 9.0 with all steps being executed. But in Mandrake 9.0, it does not prompt for root password to run KPPP which is the only difference. I am puzzled as to why it is not running in RH7.3?
