NAME¶
lr_spool - feed files in a spooldir to a command
SYNOPSIS¶
lr_spool spooldir command
DESCRIPTION¶
For each file
f in directory
spooldir,
lr_spool generates a
unique LR_ID, exports it as a shell variable, and runs
command < f
. Before executing
command,
f is moved to $TMPDIR. If
command exits successfully,
f is removed (
command is
assumed to save stdin to a file, if it feels this is appropriate), else
f is moved to
LR_FAILEDDIR.
In case any of
spooldir,
TMPDIR or
LR_FAILEDDIR doesn't
exist, it's created on the fly.
This script is invoked by
lr_spoold(1), which uses
lr_processmail(1) as the
command.
BUGS¶
The directory
spooldir is created using plain mkdir -p. If
spooldir is supposed to be part of a Maildir structure, only .../new/
is created. This does not satisfy for a valid Maildir. One has to verify
manually wether
spooldir is part of a valid Maildir, and create it
manually, on such a system.
