And, there may be other interesting/critical mail coming to root.

Good point.

I always have root's email sent to my own user account.

That's one of the things my ALI scripts sets up for me.

echo echo "Processing /etc/aliases config file" echo

# Backup the newly installed aliases configuration file. cp -vpR $ETC_DIR/aliases $ETC_DIR/aliases$ORG_SUFX echo

# Use sed to edit the new aliases file and change # who should get root's email.

echo "Setting up who gets root's email"

sed -i s/#root:.*marc/'root: keith'/ $2/aliases

echo cat $ETC_DIR/aliases echo

Kind Regards,
