All
It's the usual "having problems with postprocessing" question, but with what I
think is a slightly different slant. My test problem is ultra-simple: take a
mbox which consists of a single saved message, and write it out to a second
file. But procmail seems to hang after creating the lock file, and never
performs the write. I am aware of the clashes that can occur with the OpenLook
mailtool, but in this case I am _not_ trying to read my mail spoolfile, just an
arbitrary test file. The procmail version is 3.11pre7, running on a Sun Ultra
Sparc, Solaris 5.6. I know, it's all out of date, but it's out of my control
and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Here's the procmail recipes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHELL=/bin/ksh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
VERBOSE=on
:0:
received_rest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the command-line:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
hci-sun4:/home/cvc/Mail 147>ksh
$ procmail -m /home/cvc/.procmbox_processor < ./tst1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and here's the LOG:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
