OT: auto responder (OOO) question

[Steve Campbell]

I added the following little snippet to the top of vacationon and 
vacationoff:

if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]
then
         echo "Incorrect number of arguments";
         echo "Usage: vacationon username";
         exit 1;
fi

Changed the vacationon to vacationoff in vacationoff of course.

Thanks all

steve
