NAME

read-mail - Archive incoming mail

SYNOPSIS

  read-mail
  read-mail [options]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of mharc and is the main program for archiving mail. It is generally called via cron.

This program does very little itself, but it invokes other mharc scripts to do all the work.

If the file .noarchive exists in mharc root directory, then this program will do nothing and exit (unless the -force option is specified). This is to allow one to disable incoming mail processing while performing administrative tasks.

OPTIONS

This program is generally called without any command-line options since it will read <mharc-root>/lib/config.sh for any configurable options. Regardless, the following command-line options are available:

-help

Print out usage information.

-home pathname

Root pathname of archiving software and data. If not specified, SW_ROOT variable in config.sh is used, else the parent directory that contains this program is used.

-man

Print out entire manpage.

-verbose

Print out status messages.

FILES

mharc-root/lib/config.sh

Main configuration file for mharc.
