su - user user~# vacation

Run vacation twice if it's a first time user, and give the user bash in the passwd file.

this creates a .forward message with the mailbox to deliver to and a pipe to the vacation program with the aliases to reply for. it then creates a .vacation.msg file with the text of the autoreply and does a vacation -i to initialise.

after vacation is ended, run vacation again to turn it off.

If a user has aliases they need to be added after vacation -a and before the username in the .forward file
