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.
