command line

I've installed qmail, and the docs say to test it using
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
and then something below.

how do i send this command? it seems to be something about "end of file" but nothing I found through google works, such as "look in your /etc/inputrc".

Also when I enter a command such as md5sum wihtout a filename, it sort of "freezes" as well. Would the "end of file" work here too?

Finally is there a way to stop whatever is happening on the command line before it finishes, such as a long compile process?

Heh this means that you'll be able to send a message with the inject option. Try:

echo To: your@email.com | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

Hope this helps

I knew that, thats in the qmail docs (forgot to say it works). But how can i use that to send the message subject and body and cc /bcc?
I did post this in the software forum, my question here was actually to find out how to get back to the command line during/after a botched operation.

if its waiting for input then eof(C-d) will work, C-z pauses, and C-c quits.
