</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I sometimes have to email all users on my BX servers and so created a script called ‘createforward.sh’ with the following:<BR>
<BR>
ls -Al /home/sites/*/users/*/mbox | gawk {'print "\\"$9'} | sed 's~/mbox~~' | sed 's~/home/sites/.*/~~' > ~allusers/.forward<BR>
<BR>
This creates a .forward file for the user ‘allusers’ with an entry for each user.<BR>
<BR>
I then email allusers@<hostname> and it forwards a copy to all the users. I then delete the .forward file.<BR>
<BR>
It works BUT sends out xxx copies to each user where xxx is the total number of users on the box (i.e. in the .forward file) which is a bit embarrassing!<BR>
<BR>
Can anybody suggest a better way of doing this?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
