- 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.
