These instructions will help you set up the 'vacation' program to send an automated response to anyone that mails you while you're away.

1. Log into skorpio and run:

   vacation -I

2. Make sure that you have a .vacation.msg in your home directory.
3. Have the following entry in your /forward/[group]/[username]/.forward file:

   \[username], "/usr/bin/vacation [username]"

4. To turn off the vacation program, change your /forward/[group]/[username]/.forward to read:

   \[username]@cs.usask.ca

   or whereever it is you receive email (@mail.usask.ca for example).

In these notes, [username] is the username that you use to log into skorpio (i.e. abc123 or smith), and [group] is your user group (i.e. staff or faculty).
