Hello experts!!
I created ,for monitoring purposes , a process   forward e-mail created 
by crontjob to my windows account, and delete the same mail from UNIX 
box.

I wrote and tested  a KORN script  :

#!/usr/bin/ksh
keeplooping=1;

while [[ $keeplooping -eq 1 ]] ; do
  echo m moisey at sprint.com| /usr/bin/mail >/dev/null
  if [[ $> -ne 0 ]] ; then
    break;
  fi
done
 
This script successfully runs in OS Solaris , but I could not make it 
run under Linux Suse, I have installed korn shell in the Linux box.


My question is  :  Do you have a similar script for Linux  or Is there 
better way to do the same task in the Linux environment ?
