Dear Sir/Madam
I am trying to configure procmail to execute a UNIX program
(/usr/local/bin/qpage) when it finds a matching pattern. Please find
below a copy of the .procmailrc file
As you will see in the .procmailrc file below, two actions are performed
on a successful pattern match.
1. Create a file in the alert sub-directory and send the output to this
file
2. Invoke the pager command ( qpage )
The first action is successful but the second one always comes back with
the message
"/bin/ksh: /usr/local/bin/qpage: cannot execute".
The user running procmail has privilege to execute this command and is
able to do so from the UNIX shell prompt.
The following line is present in the .forward file
"|IFS=' ' && p=/home/gf845/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf-
|| exit 75 # gf845"
Please let me know what I am doing wrong
Look forward to your reply and thanking you in advance
Yours sincerely
Ganesh
