Selecting unknown string.
Work problem:
Need to set up a job to periodically check that the number of entries in the mail queue.
I'm able to do the following:
mailq | grep "Mail Queue"
Which returns:
Mail Queue (7 requests)
Unfortunately I'm not sure how I select between `
(` and `
requests`?
TIA
Cheers,
Cameron

The first line printed for each message shows the internal identifier used on this host for the message, the size of the message in bytes,

that caused this message to be retained in the queue; it will not be present if the message is being processed for the first time. The
status characters are:
