Description Andreas Korsten 2006-07-03 07:57:01 UTC

qmailanalog comes with a couple of shell scripts like zsenders, zrecipients etc.
which contain lines like:

( echo sbytes mess tries xdelay recipient
/var/qmail/bin/recipients | sort +4 ) | /var/qmail/bin/columnt

The sort command fails because "+4" is interpreted as a filename instead of a column. A (quick-and-dirty) patch can be found here:

The link appears to be down, but here's another mention of it:

Changing all the +N to -k N+1 worked for me.

That's what I did.
