How to use Vacation Program

When you invoke the vacation program, a text editor will be started up allowing you to customize the message that will appear when people send you email while you are away. Once you save and exit out of the editor, you will be asked to confirm that you want to set up your vacation messaging. Once this is done, a .forward file is created in your account to impliment the vacation messaging. Once you return, you may simply remove (rm) this .forward file to turn off the vacation program.
