Hi!

This week I started getting the following error messages in my console
window on login:

09:31 usage: machtype [-v] [-c] [-d] [-r] [-E] [-N] [-M]
09:31              [-k kernel] [-m memory] [-A] [-L] [-P]
09:31 usage: machtype [-v] [-c] [-d] [-r] [-E] [-N] [-M]
09:31              [-k kernel] [-m memory] [-A] [-L] [-P]



I have (and have had for a really long time)

.twmrc:"xcmeister"      ! "/mit/accounts/`machtype`bin/xcmeister &"


Is that what's causing the error? That command works if I run it by
hand. 


						Thanks,

							Carla
