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,
