I am running procmail 3.10 and have the following problem: I want to pipe
something to procmail which then uses a specific RC file. This rc file
includes another RC file. That included RC file sets various variables.
This setting of the variables works when procmail does its usual job
(installed as local mailer in sendmail.cf). But when I run procmail from
the command line it seems that the system variables like $PATH and such
(which are set in a setenv file) are not set.
When I paste by hand, I get:
command:
paste | procmail /usr/local/nocem-e/rc/rc.ok
output:
process_ncm: process_ncm: cannot open
/Users/gerben//backup: Not a directory.
Which means that PATH and other variables seem not to be set. But they
*are* set when procmail is run from sendmail as local mailer.
Can someone help we with this? I include the relevant rc files below.
My .procmailrc looks like this:
===================================================================
INCLUDERC=/usr/local/nocem-e/procmailrc
===================================================================
And /usr/local/nocem-e/procmailrc looks like:
===================================================================
INCLUDERC=/usr/local/nocem-e/setenv
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.safety
INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmailrc-personal
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.nocem-e
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.Doumakes
===================================================================
And /usr/local/nocem-e/setenv looks like
===================================================================
#!/bin/sh
# This file sets the system-wide environment for NoCeM-e
# This is where you installed NoCeM-e
NOCEMEDIR=/usr/local/nocem-e
# Whatever you like
VERBOSE=OFF
# Restric path to NoCeM-e and normal programs
PATH=$NOCEMEDIR/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
# Where your personal mail lives
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mailboxes
# Where the system delivers your mail
ORGMAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
# This is where procmail writes its log
PMLOG=$HOME/tmp/procmail.log
# This is where the user home directories live
USERROOT=/Users
# Below this, ou need not change anything
PMDIR=$NOCEMEDIR/rc
PERSONALRC=$HOME/.procmailrc-personal
PERSONALNCMPGPDIR=$HOME/.pgp_ncm
PERSONALPGPRING=$PERSONALNCMPGPDIR/ncm.pgp
# Just to be sure
IFS=' '
SHELL=/bin/sh
# And last but not least
NOCEMVERSION=0.6
===================================================================
rc.ok looks like:
===================================================================
INCLUDERC=/usr/local/nocem-e/setenv
:0
| formail -I "Subject: @@NCM" | procmail $PMDIR/rc.nocem-e
===================================================================
Thanks in advance
