Binary package hint: multitail
The default configuration for multitail has the check_mail option set to "5". This causes multitail to look for /var/mail/$USER, which does not exist on any Ubuntu machine I've used.
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04
Package: multitail
Version: 5.2.0-1
The fix is to set check_mail to "0" in the default configuration file, which disables mail checking. (Personally, I don't why a log tailer needs to check my mail anyway.) |
