Hi,
I have my .procmailrc setup to forwward email to another (email
only) account. When I am not going to be at the account, I turn
forwarding off.
What I'd like to be able to do is to change this state from my
(email only) account.
I realize that this gets into a nasty kettle of fish with a
program modifying itself. I do this on my shell without a problem.
The simple way to do this from my email only account is to have a
specific header copy a no-forward or forward version of my .procmailrc
file to .procmailrc.
My question is how should I deal with issues so that this won't
trash mail and procmail files. Would calling a shell script with a delay
be enough, or are there some file locking schemes that should be used?
