From: Norah Jones <nh.jones01@xxxxxxxxx> > Why I get this message " You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root " > in CentOs? > My queries are the following - > 1. Why this is generated ? Because a mail was sent to the root user... > 2. How to disable this ? MAILCHECK Specifies how often (in seconds) bash checks for mail. The default is 60 seconds. When it is time to check for mail, the shell does so before displaying the primary prompt. If this variable is unset, or set to a value that is not a number greater than or equal to zero, the shell disables mail checking. > 3. Is this system generated ? Read the mail and see who sent it. > 4. Is this message gain any importance ? Read the mail and see if it is important... If you want mail for root to go to another user, edit /etc/aliases JD _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
