[ale] crontab forward remove e-mail

[Jerry Z. Yu]

possibly I missed something here... that said, 
---------------------------------------------
Any output (stdout or stderr) from cron jobs will be mailed to owner of 
the cron, be it root or a regular user on the system. You can simply 
define an alias for that user in /etc/aliases so that those cron mails 
be forwarded to the aliased account Alternatively and less favorably, you 
can use $HOME/.forward file for that user to forward all his/her mail to a 
different account.

#Hello experts!!
#I created ,for monitoring purposes , a process   forward e-mail created 
#by crontjob to my windows account, and delete the same mail from UNIX 
#box.
#
#I wrote and tested  a KORN script  :
#
##!/usr/bin/ksh
#keeplooping=1;
#
#while [[ $keeplooping -eq 1 ]] ; do
#  echo m moisey at sprint.com| /usr/bin/mail >/dev/null
#  if [[ $> -ne 0 ]] ; then
#    break;
#  fi
#done
# 
#This script successfully runs in OS Solaris , but I could not make it 
#run under Linux Suse, I have installed korn shell in the Linux box.
#
#
#My question is  :  Do you have a similar script for Linux  or Is there 
#better way to do the same task in the Linux environment ?
