Re: [PLUG] Why does -t option of ssh cause mail to not be sent?...

[Russ Thompson <vigornj@gmail.com>]

Before calling your script, perhaps source /etc/profile so the appropriate environment paths are set.  The sourcing should be done during connection, prior to running your script.

I've ran into issues like this before with ptty and it was usually environment related, but in your case, doesn't make a ton of sense since it works with different conditions (sleep etc).

Is the script executing cleanly by viewing the return variable $?

Just out of curiosity, can you try it with tcsh instead of csh?  Or with bash?

I'm not having any trouble finding the junk script.  It runs just fine.
The only problem is that the mail doesn't get sent unless there is
enough stuff after it in the script to give the mail time to be sent
before the script ends.  So, specifying the full path to the junk script
should not matter, right?

I wonder if, because you're attached to a terminal, the mail process is catching a SIGHUP or something and dying when the script ends?  Maybe try invoking the mailer with "nohup"?
