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.
