Some basic commands for manipulating messages under Linux

The system provides the communication system between the users, when the user opens the terminal registers the login to discover the system to give the following information:

The code is as follows:

You have mail.

The user can then read the letter by typing the Mail command:

The code is as follows:

$ mail

The mail program displays the user's letters one by one and displays the latest letters in chronological order. Every time a letter is displayed, Mail asks

Whether the user wants to do something with the letter. If the user answers D, the letter is deleted, and if only the ENTER key is pressed, no change is made to the letter.

Move (the letter is still kept, the next time you can read the letter); If you answer P, ask for a duplicate display of the letter. S filename says that the letter

to a named file; if you answer q, you want to exit from mail.

The code is as follows:

[Root@localhost ~]# Mail

Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type? For help.

"/var/spool/mail/root": Messages Unread

>u 1 root@localhost.local Mon 15:43 24/936 "Cron

U 2 root@localhost.local Mon 15:44 24/936 "Cron

U 3 root@localhost.local Mon 15:45 24/936 "Cron

U 4 root@localhost.local Mon 15:46 24/936 "Cron

U 5 root@localhost.local Mon 15:47 24/936 "Cron

> indicates that the current message U is unread

The code is as follows:

& P//Display current message
