mail command

Hello

what is the easiest way to get the mail command?
Which package contains this program?

raydeb1:~/scripts# mail
bash: mail: command not found

thanks

RayIT

 

Which distribution do you use?
On Debian, you can use apt-file to search the package that contains a certain file:

Code:

apt-get install apt-file
apt-file update
apt-file search mail

 

debian mail command

Linux raydeb1 2.6.11.12-xen0 #1 Tue Feb 14 16:44:16 CET 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Debian
I want to install as less as possible on the domO
but I have a script that uses the mail command on the prompt.

problem is
raydeb1:/home/rayit# mail
bash: mail: command not found

with the search option I get > 200 options

thanks

RayIT

 

Run

Code:

apt-file search mail|more

to browse through the results.
You can also run

Code:

apt-file search /usr/bin/mail

as this is the full path to the mail program.

 

thanks works
