assistance.

The first thing to try is to run the command from the shell to see
if it works.  You also will get any diagnostics from MHonArc which
may help in determining what problems there may be.

Cron example:
# to test update of sdrc_archive

15 22 * * * /usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add /var/spool/mail/sdrc_archive  -outdir
 
/usr/produ

I'm guessing the line-break was introduced by your mailer.

It appears your invocation is incorrect.  Any mail folders should be
put after any option arguments.  Example:

    /usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir 
/usr/products/SunOS/html/www-oss/fss/testdir/sdrc /var/spool/mail/sdrc_archive


/etc/aliases examples:

#sdrc_archive:"|/usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /testdir/sdrc" 

You should -quiet in /etc/aliases.  Again, doing a shell invocation
test will help determine problem.
