by The Bourne shell has a MAILCHECK variable which checks every so often (10
minutes) for mail and notifies the user if mail has arrived since it
last checked. I now run a PD korn shell which does not have this
capability, and I would like to add it. I understand it checks the
modification time, but that would change when mail was deleted too.
Does anyone know how it checks? If not, can I put something in my
crontab or start a background job at login to do this?
