10.9.1 Build the vacation Program
The vacation program is built by simply changing to the vacation directory and
running:
% ./Build
The vacation program requires no special compile-time macros. Once it is built, you
install it like this:
% ./Build install
The vacation program is generally installed in the /usr/ucb or /usr/bin directory (or in
another directory defined in your devtools/OS file). You can change this location by
defining a new directory withth e confUBINDIR macro (?ยง2.7.70 on page 100) in your
m4 build file.
10.9.2 Other Uses for vacation
The vacation program can also be used as a general notification that you are busy, as
a way to retire users, and as a way to manage hours.
10.9.2.1 You are too busy to reply promptly
People are sometimes too busy to reply to all the email they get in a prompt fashion,
and it is common courtesy to let senders know of the situation.
