Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete. The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to PUBDIR on system, where PUBDIR is the UUCP public directory Specifically the files are sent to PUBDIR The recipient is notified by electronic mail when the files arrive. accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the recipient. Specifically, searches PUBDIR for files destined for the user. For each entry (file or directory) found, the following message is printed on the standard output: file-name] dirname] then reads a line from the standard input to determine the disposition of the file: <new-line> Go on to next entry. Delete the entry. Move the entry to named directory dir (current directory is default). Note that, if the current working directory is desired for dir, do specify any parameter with A construction such as is erroneous, and results in loss of data.
