Maybe I will push the boundary of my        SR> shell scripting :)              Mine is also very basic. I have been meaning to beef it up for years but I       haven't gotten to it yet. ;)              My script has a test for usermail.flg and if found runs a mail scan. Something       similar could be done based on gotmail.flg that is created on received mail.       I'll include it below.              #!/bin/sh       # This script will toss incoming mail and files              export TZUTC="-0700"       export TZ="PDT+7"              cd /bbbs       ./bbbs bogus w >/dev/null 2>&1       ./bbbs btick >/dev/null 2>&1       ./bbbs bfilsort >/dev/null 2>&1       ./bbbs bfileidx >/dev/null 2>&1       touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2              # outgoing mail              if [ -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg ]; then        rm -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg        cd /bbbs        ./bbbs bogus r > /dev/null 2>&1        touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2       fi                     The above is my mailin.sh script.               Ttyl :-),        Al              ... All right, so I like spending money! But name one other extravagance.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 19/37 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/130 131 124/5016 129/305 331 134/100 153/135 757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 227/114 229/111 112 113 206       SEEN-BY: 229/317 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 240/1120 2100 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5824 5832 5853 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 317/3 320/119 219 319 322/0 757 341/66 234       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 3634/12       PATH: 153/757 280/464 240/5832 320/219 229/426           |
