Thank you Sir ... it works like a charm ... however I have noticed a
problem with my implementation ... I have to type the whole command every
time ... and most of the time I use my cell phone to do it ...
How would I go about sending the the body as a variable to a BASH script?
Thank you
Danny

Hi guys,
Currently I am managing my Debian servers via simple commands in the
Subject of a mail message with an empty body ...
Procmail would read the Subject and then perform a certain command ...
For example:
If I want to start an Ftp server I would send an email with "Ftp start" as
the subject ... it works o.k for my needs ...
However ... I want to send more complicated commands in the Body and not
the Subject ...
For example:
When procmail gets an email with say "Execute command" in the Subject ...
I want procmail to pipe the command contained in the body (a one line BASH
command) to BASH ...
Here is an example of a command I would send in the Body:
echo -e "\rLT 4>Body of email message\r\r" > /dev/ttyS1
Any pointers?
Danny
