Re: Expire undeleted mail older than specified age
Hi Marcelo, Well, i have copied the perl script of expire_mail.pl in /usr/local/sbin/expire_mail.pl. And put the following into my cron job: 0 23 * * 3 /usr/local/sbin/expire_mail -l -M -a 60 /var/mail/* Seems not work. So i run the command manually and found that /usr/local/sbin/expire_mail: Command not found. Do i missed out any steps?

Re: Expire undeleted mail older than specified age
Seems not work. So i run the command manually and found that /usr/local/sbin/expire_mail: Command not found. Look at the 1st line of the script and check whether it is /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl and if second that you have a /usr/local/bin/perl.

Re: Expire undeleted mail older than specified age
The 1st line is /usr/local/bin/perl . Trying to put in usr/local/bin/perl same problem. Command not found. Ann On 7/12/05, Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Seems not work.

The 1st line is /usr/local/bin/perl . Trying to put in usr/local/bin/perl same problem. Command not found. Where is your perl interpreter? $ which perl and use the reult in the first line. i expect the result to be /usr/bin/perl so the 1st line should be #!/usr/bin/perl Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Expire undeleted mail older than specified age
Hi Ben, Thank you so much. It works finally and it was perfect. I shd use expire_mail (no .pl), not expire_mail.pl.

Re: Expire undeleted mail older than specified age
I have full access right to expire_mail.pl, coz i've changed to chmod 777 expire_mail.pl. Also, I have read some article on expire_mail and they all mentioned to use expire_mail.pl. But it's weird, I can use expire_mail, but not expire_mail.pl. Anyway, the case has been solved. 10q Ann On 7/12/05, Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hummm, Are you sure you have execute rights to expire_mail.pl? ls -l expire_mail.pl Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From above, the file is called expire_mail.pl, but you don't have the .pl extension in the cron command line, or in the command you typed. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
