 rcvprint(C)                     19 June 1992                     rcvprint(C)


 Name

    rcvprint - print message automatically

 Syntax

    /usr/bin/rcvprint

 Description

    This command is intended to be run from your $HOME/.maildelivery file.
    The purpose of rcvprint is to pipe the body of the message into a program
    that prints the message on a line printer.  The rcvprint program tries a
    variety of different programs until it finds one that will execute.  It
    then waits to see how the program coped and reports back to the local
    channel.

 Example

    A typical entry in your $HOME/.maildelivery file is:

       subject    printer    pipe    A    rcvprint

    Specify the full pathname of rcvprint if the /usr/bin directory is not in
    your search path.

 File

    $HOME/.maildelivery
