How To Enable Receiving Messages On WAM (Zephyr)

If you want to receive interactive messages from other users on the WAM system, you need to add a command to your ".cshrc.mine" file, which is automatically executed every time you log in (or open a new window if you're working on a Sun workstation).

To add the command to the end of your .cshrc.mine file type at the prompt:

    echo " y"  >>  ~/.cshrc.mine

The ">>" says "append the string to the end of the following file." Make sure you DON'T use ">", as that will overwrite the file. Once you log in(or open a new window on a Sun Workstation) the command will be executed and you will be able to receive messages.
