- I omitted to mention that my .mh_profile contained:
-
- rmmproc: /bin/rm
-
- Jerry Peek suggested that the rmmproc might be a problem, and as usual he was
- right. If I comment out this line, then the refile works. If I leave it
- commented out and try:
-
- refile -file /tmp/foo -rmmproc /bin/rm +drafts
-
- I get the original failure symptoms. Bug in refile I think.
-
- For the benefit of bug-mh:
-
- My machine is a Sparcstation 1 running SunOS Release 4.1.1, my mh configuration
- details are:
