Hey,
I have just noticed a small log entry associated with some process
intensive nested code that appears as "forking". Ok, fair enough.
With the recipe starting the nested code I c flag onward a copy of the
message which finishes immediately afterwards as another delivered recipe.
My question is, could the delivered recipe execute before the nested code
is finished and could all processes terminate at that point, or become
confused as to what is the last folder etc viz: could the anticipated flow
be disrupted completely by one arm of the fork delivering early ?
You have to let the :0c recipe waiting by doing something like:
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
:0:
* ^To:(_dot_)*reti(_at_)igrin\(_dot_)co\(_dot_)nz
{
:0c
* ? for COUNT in $(seq 1 20) ; do if [ -f ~/.procmail.continue ] ; then rm -f
~/.procmail.continue ; break ; fi ; sleep 1 ; done ; echo >/dev/null
{
TRAP=''
.Folder_Copy/
}
:0
{
TRAP='touch ~/.procmail.continue'
:0
.Folder/
}
}
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
You should at least lock this block to let only ONE new message in.
The first :0c recipe check 20 seconds long for a file ~/.procmail.continue
before it continue normaly. If, in the meantime the origanl message has
arrived the .Folder/ after delivery, TRAP will be executed and create the
file ~/.procmail.continue which then is detected by the :0c recipe and the
delivery continue by removing the file, and echo blindely to gernerate and
ExitStatus of 0. TRAP sould be set to nothing
The recipe is not tested, but it should work.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
