Although I used procmail for so long I never figure out what kind of
"script" rules it follows. For example in one of my rc script I try to
calculate a list file ("dist"):
DISTCOUNT=`grep -cv '^(' dist` -1
the calculation part fails, end up in the log:
procmail: Skipped "-1"
How can I get over this without getting it to external script for a simple
calculation like this?
Definitely not a procmail syntax expert here, but... I believe you are
have a problem with grep syntax rather than procmail. The minus sign for
a grep parameter requires special handling.
