Hello - Is there a way to easily clear the Root inbox? For other users I can move the inbox to another name then create a new inbox for them. Is that possible with Root? I am VERY much a newbie when working with the root account. Any help is appreciated. Margaret

I will modify the script to direct output to the log file, and I will add the "ls -l" to the script so that's in the log. Currently the output for the unzipped file with "ls -l" returns all dashes "---------------". Is there an appropriate term for this permissions condition? Thank you...

Hello - I have more information about the problem we are seeing. I am also very hesitant to use the "umask" command since I do not want to change all file permissions for the login, just the permissions for the file created in this particular script. In addition, the requirement is to make a...

Thanks very much for the teach! I will make the recommended changes and see what the results show.

My apologies for my shortcomings in the information provided. Your comment: Second, your commands don't look complete. I don't know what /usr/local/bin/upperlower does, and the mail line seems incomplete. Response: The "upperlower" command changes the name of the unzipped file to be in lower...

We have an issue that has come up with a particular login on our SCO Unix system. There is a command in a script that appears to have stopped executing, or is failing Here is the meat of the script - the command that appears to be failing is the "chmod" command. /bin/unzip -P...

Linux email server. I am a newbie for Linux email, know just enough to get in and look at files on the server. We have a user with a Sent folder that has over 38K messages and the user cannot open mailbox in Outlook. Sent file size is 6768497750. Looking for a way to preserve the sent data...

Hello - I'm very much a newbie to SCO Unix email. Several months ago we had a problem where our Linux mail server went offline and our SCO system tried to send out email. As a result we have several addresses that appear to have been identified as "bad hosts" and now the system will not send...

Found the problem in Unix in the /etc/default/lpd file. This file contained the statement "BANNERS=1" and we changed that to "BANNERS=0". No more problem with the banner printing, and extra blank pages that have been printing after other print jobs (on other printers) are no longer printing...

Ed - Thanks for pointing me to /etc/default/lpd This file contained the statement "BANNERS=1" and we changed that to "BANNERS=0". No more problem with the banner printing, and extra blank pages that have been printing after other print jobs (on other printers) are no longer printing. The...

I may have found the problem - actually not a problem, just configuration. I found a configuration file for the printer in the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/model.orig folder, specifically set to print the banner. Here is the contents of that file. As I said earlier I am a newbie so I'm...

Perhaps it is more accurate to say that the banner is printing "between" print jobs. The print job being sent from Foxplus does not include any specific printer instructions - just output. There is nothing in the Fox print job that specifies a banner and everything being sent from Foxplus is...

Hello - we are running Foxplus in an SCO Unix environment. Recently we added a receipt printer in one of our store outlets and there is a banner that prints at the end of every print job sent to this printer. We do not see this behavior on any other printer. Does anyone know if turning off...

We recently added a receipt printer to our system written in Foxplus running on SCO Unix. The printer is printing a banner at the end of every print jobs, something we have not seen with any other printer. Does anyone know if changing the Unix configuration to turn off banners will impact...

Well I'm happy to say we found the problem. Long story short - there is a program (written a very long time ago) that is called to lock the current record with some additional functionality. It also saves the current screen, then tries to lock the record, writing a notation to the bottom of...
