Have you tried quote marks (") where required?

my logic sense says /bin/sh does not need it, since there is no space in that command ?

if /bin/sh is called and executed the next args would be out of binkd hands to handle, no ?

i have aswell tryed example config variant, but it fails, funny things is that its logged as working, but not anyway since still unprosseded files in my inbound

I think your binkD is seeing each definition as an unstructured string of characters. Re-read the documentation.

(Also BTW, the call to "/bin/sh" is unnecessary.)

Paul.

make sure your scripts are "chmod +x" and that they have a proper "#!/exe/loc/binary" line to execute them with the proper processor...

Benny,

#!/bin/sh

See your question already was answered but wanted to share a little more since I havent written a message in a good while...

#!/usr/bin/env sh

The more "proper" way to do it. :-)

.. or replace sh with bash if you want more functionality.

You may also want a lock file to prevent duplicate instances of mail from tossing.

hpt can do this but im not sure if other things like tick processors do as well...

For hpt at least, Example:

# flag file to lock what should not be accesed by multiple husky programs
# or multiple instances of husky programs simultaneously
LockFile [BaseDir]/hpt.lock

#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# Locking
#-----------------------------------------------------------------

# This statement is about how program will perform when it can't
# acquire the lock (see LockFile).
# If it is set to some value > 0, then husky programs will wait
# and try again a specified number of times with one second interval.
# If 'advisorylock' isn't set or is set to zero, then program will
# terminate immediately.

AdvisoryLock 10

===============

There are a number of custom ways to do this - which i prefer. Just be careful
with lock files (i.e. clear them at system start up) or make them advisory (timeout).

I simply call a cron every minute. If binkd receives mail - it will create a semaphore. If no semaphore is created then no work is done.

Probably more than you wanted but just sharing...

Take care,

Matt
