errors from pipes.... but it works

1995-12-28 09:23:51

I've been experimenting with some pipes just to see how they work.  
Little things like emailing my other account to see who is logged on there.

The commands work, but I keep getting these messages:

setenv: Too many arguments.
From: Command not found.
Missing name for redirect.

I don't get it.  Here's an example of what I mean:

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mailboxes
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail.log
 
:0
*^Subject: send_who
|/usr/local/bin/who | Mail -s "who output" 
476tjl(_at_)ptsmail(_dot_)ptsem(_dot_)edu

When I send a message with subject "send_who" it does what it should and 
the reply is sent to 476tjl(_at_)ptsmail(_dot_)ptsem(_dot_)edu, but I get an 
error in the 
logfile as I indicated above.

I'm new at this, can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?  Small 
words appreciated...
