Paul,

I applied John's patch, and don't doubt that it works in the run script.

However, I'd like to use messagewallstats from a shell like this:

# cat /var/log/mwall/\@* | messagewallstats

John's patch won't allow this, unless you use something like:

# cat /var/log/mwall/\@* | messagewallstats /dev/stdin

...which is something I want to avoid as it seems a little inelegant.
