NAME

rcvprint - mail to printer.

SYNOPSIS

This command is intended to be run from the user's .maildelivery file. Its purpose is to pipe the body of the message into a program that will print the message on a line printer. It tries a variety of different programs until it finds one that will execute. It then waits around to see how the program coped and reports back to the local channel.

EXAMPLE

An typical entry in the user's .maildelivery file is:

subject    printer    pipe    A    rcvprint

You may need to give the full pathname of rcvprint if it is not in the search path of a vanilla /bin/sh.

FILES
