What are you cat'ing (you should specify '-' as the filename parm to cat if
you want it to cat from stdin)?
Why are you not LOCKING the operation on this file? Particularly if it is
being overwritten?
procmail: Match on "^Subject.*ftp_admin*"
procmail: Executing " cat > /tmp/ftp-req"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER= cat > /tmp/ftp-req"

Subject: ftp_admin
Folder: cat > /tmp/ftp-req 30
That "30" is 30 bytes delivered.
procmail: Unlocking "/Mail/.lockmail"
You must have this recipe wrapped within a larger construct?
on a procamail 3.11 system, the command I want works
| cat > /tmp/ftp-req; myprogram
how about:
| cat - > /tmp/ftp-req ; sleep 2 ; myprogram
