Hello:
I have the following recipe, which is intended to recieve mail to a
particular address and keep a copy in some mailbox and feed the complete
message to a script:
:0
* ^TO_<some_email_address>
{
# Keep a copy
:0 c:
some_mailbox
# Proces
:0 hbi
| some_script.pl -
}
My problem is that the script takes a LONG time to process (a few
minutes), and sometimes it just stops abruptly, without error; the
process just no longer exists. I discovered that it was due to a
timeout procmail has for child processes which is causing it to shutdown
the script in mid-running.
Now, I do not want to increase procmail's timeout value because it will
affect *any* of its children processes (i.e. if any are hung, they might
not die for a long time). Is there any way to make procmail just
execute that script without having to check for its timeout?
TIA,
dZ.
