next musing: deleting a file within procmail

2001-07-09 20:55:45
OK, next notion: is there any way to make procmail delete a file without its
calling an external program?  My only thought is to make procmail think that
the file is some other process's stale lockfile; then procmail would comman-
deer it (does that involve removing and re-creating or just touching?) and,
being done with its own use for the file, remove it.  But seventeen minutes
of having procmail spin in place seem more costly than a fork of rm.
