unable to exec /usr/athena/emacs: No such file or directory
I am using athena from home, accessing thorugh secureCRT. This problem is very recent.
ijs:
athena> rmm

What were you trying to do?
Users were trying to use comp/forward/rmm.
What's wrong:
Normal nmh stuff should have happened; instead user gets one of two
errors:
unable to exec /bin/athena/delete: No such file or directory
unable to exec /bin/athena/emacs: No such file or directory
There is no longer a /bin/athena/[emacs,delete] nor a symlink to them.
What should have happened:
Apart from the obvious?
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
There is no longer a /bin/athena/[emacs,delete] if there ever was.
Replacing the hard-coded path in ~/.mh_profile with just emacs or
delete fixes the problem. Not sure why the explicit path was there;
it was in my .mh_profile as well. Have been telling users to edit
their .mh_profiles but wasn't sure if that was a bad idea.
