I have a recipe that is supposed to fire off a perl script. I have
checked the permissions, etc but when email arrives nothing happens. When
I run the script from the command line it works quite well. How would I
know where the thing is dying? Is there some kind of error var I could
look at?
Yes. Add this to just before the filter:
OLDLOG=$LOGFILE
LOGFILE=somefile-you-can-find
VERBOSE=on
Then after the filter:
VERBOSE=off
LOGFILE=$OLDLOG
Tis will log everything the filter does. If it shows nothing, then you
should expnd verbose logging to include everything done before the filter.
