install-mh(8) System Manager's Manual install-mh(8)
NAME
install-mh - initialize the MH environment
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/install-mh [-auto]
DESCRIPTION
When a user runs any MH program for the first time, the program invokes install-mh (with the -auto switch) to query the user for the ini-
tial MH environment. The user does not invoke this program directly. The program prompts for the name of the directory to be designated as
the user's Mail directory. If this directory does not exist, install-mh asks if it should be created. Normally, this directory should be
under the user's home directory, and has the default name of Mail. After install-mh has written the initial for the user, control returns
to the original MH program.
As with all MH commands, install-mh first consults the $HOME environment variable to determine the user's home directory. If $HOME is not
set, then the /etc/passwd file is consulted.
If the -auto option is used, the current folder is changed to +inbox.

To set the user's MH directory
