I'm having a minor problem with trying to send a mail message from within a detached job (running from DEC Scheduler). The particular job that I'm looking at is the arbitron job for ANU News. Here's the tail of the arbitron log file: <user> hasn't logged in this month <user> hasn't logged in this month <user> hasn't logged in this month <user> hasn't logged in this month <user> hasn't logged in this month <user> doesn't read news $ mail arbitron.out "in%""netsurvey@decwrl.dec.com""",usenet %MAIL-E-USERSPEC, invalid user specification '.' $ exit $status SYSTEM job terminated at 4-JAN-1993 18:43:30.73 The arbitron program is completing normally, but the MAIL command is failing. I can cut that exact MAIL command straight from the log file and paste it onto the command line and it works just fine. Of course, this all worked just fine up until about a month ago. :) Versions: VMS 5.5-2, PMDF 4.1, ANU News 6.0.3. Thanks for any information. -- Don Rainwater, Systems Manager, Univ. of Cincinnati Center for IT Services Don.Rainwater@UC.Edu
