Seems simple enough.
I type mkfifo /home/mark/my.fifo
So my procmail reciepe would be like:
:0:
* ^TOprocmail
| /home/mark/my.fifo
The perl script might look like:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open(FIFO, "< /home/mark/my.fifo") or die $!;
while (<FIFO>){
#sort out table colums and values
#execute sql to store in database
}
close(FIFO);
Probably a dumb thought and not sure I understand what a fifo is or
does but why not just pipe direct to the perl script leaving out the
fifo stuff?
