23.SH DESCRIPTION
24.I lert
25shows any messages directed to you by Athena Accounts (e.g.
26notification that your account is scheduled for deactivation).  Lert is
27run automatically during login to assure that such messages are
28displayed for you in a timely manner.  You can also run lert manually
