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.

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...

The "upperlower" script converts the file name to all lower characters

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...

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...

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...
There do not appear to be any control characters in the data. The same data is used to support multiple reports, but only one report exhibits the problem.
There is, however, a unique work table that is used to hold data for the report with the problem. That table is zapped and reloaded each...
At this point I am pursuing a possible data problem - not sure that makes sense but it cannot hurt to look.
Both of these reports use a mechanism where a table structure is copied to a temp table that is then used to load data for the output (temp file is discarded at the end of the report)...
That's the rub - there's nothing we can identify that has changed. Clearly something triggered the problem, but since the problem is so isolated it is proving very difficult to diagnose.
There have certainly been no OS changes, and no changes to the programs themselves, the programs do not...
SCO Unix is character based, no GUI, no mouse support, no printer drivers. Printers are typically configured to default to a "line printer" font. The reports that are having the printing problem, and many that are not having problems, use the methodology that Dan Freeman describes.
1) This is not a VFP application - it is Foxplus. It is sometimes surprising the features that are available in Foxplus but you cannot assume VFP functionality is available.
2) Defining a "font" as a character string with the escape code sequence works just fine when sending it as part of a ...
