NAME

       check-sendfile - Check if some files have arrived

SYNOPSIS

       check-sendfile

DESCRIPTION

       The check-sendfile command tests if there are files hosed in the user’s
       sendfile spool area.  If so he will be informed about the files.

       This command should be started from /etc/profile to give  all  users  a
       chance  to  notices  that some files have arrived in their absence.  As
       the defauld behaviour of sendfiled is to write a note on the user’s tty
       he  won’t notice receiption if he’s not logged in.  The lack of need to
       be logged in is one of sendfile’s advantages.

FILES

       /var/spool/sendfile/$user
              Spool area for the specifig user.
