fix

By default, uroot sends usage information to root. You can configure the mailto variable in /etc/uroot.cfg to send email to a different account. 

To enable the mailto feature for uroot:

  1. From your favorite editor, load /etc/uroot.cfg.
  2. Somewhere near the beginning of the file (preferably after the lines that start with a #), type the following line:

    3. Defaults:ALL mailto="user2@somehost.com

  3. Save the file.
