notify

notify [options]

Inform user when new mail arrives. With no options, indicate whether automatic notification is enabled or disabled.

Note: this command is part of the UPAS mailing system software. Commercial Unix systems all use sendmail, thus, this command isn't applicable.

Options

-m file

Save mail messages to file (default is $HOME/.mailfile). Applies only when automatic notification is enabled (-y option).

-n

Disable mail notification. -n is used alone.

-y

Enable mail notification.
