Piping mail to a script

custangro · 01-15-2010, 11:51 AM

I am trying to pipe email going to ng_recycle but I am getting an error and it won't fire off the script...

Code:

hamster1 sendmail[24762]: [ID 801593 mail.info] o0FHcmj9024761: to="|/usr/home/chrish/scripts/ng_recycle.sh", ctlad
dr=<hamster1_ng@hamster1> (1/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30842, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 1

Here is the aliases file

Code:

hamster1_ng: "|/usr/home/chrish/scripts/ng_recycle.sh"

Currently all the script is doing is this

Code:

#!/bin/ksh -fuh
#
#
#
logger -p local5.info -t APACHE_RECYCLE "Nagios triggerd an apache recycle"
#
exit 0
#
#-30-

Any ideas?

-C

Grep your maillog for "o0FHcmj9024761" and post back full output in code tags?

Depending on your distro you may have to add a symlink to your script in /etc/smrsh to give permission to sendmail to run the script.

...and ng_recycle.sh will need ownership and mode that allows execution in the mailer's context.
