[plug] checking for existence of an application

[Jon Miller]

okay, but that would put you in an interactive mode in which case you need to exit this session. I do not see how one would get the name of the mta to put into a variable.  This has to work from within a script without user intervention. 
Just want to use a "if exist" (DOS) type statement.

Thanks

Telnet to localhost on port 25 and read the banner.
