Thanks for that.
It piped to the file fine when i tried that..
I'm still having trouble piping it to a php script..
i dont seem to be able to get any data into my php script from it.
maybe someone can shed some light on this for me..
im piping to..
'|/usr/local/cgsys/dbmail_tools/auto_responder.php'
but nothing seems to come through..
this is the php script im piping it to.. it is just a test script which
takes input from arguments and sends them field by field to the syslog:
-----------------------------------
#!/usr/local/cgiphp/bin/php -q
<?
while(list($key,$data)=each($argv)){
echo "\n".$key.":".$data;
syslog(LOG_INFO,$key.":".$data);
}
-----------------------------------------
when i tail the syslog, instead of seeing the expected mail message data, i
see this
--------------------
Oct 23 23:12:17 web2 php: 0:/usr/local/cgsys/dbmail_tools/auto_responder.php
--------------------
Please dont laugh too hard at my testing technique... its just a simple easy
test for me to see what arguments are being passed to the script...
the script works fine.
if i type this at the command line:
./auto_responder.php this is a test
i get this is in the syslog:
-------------------
Oct 23 23:15:25 web2 php: 1:this
Oct 23 23:15:25 web2 php: 2:is
Oct 23 23:15:25 web2 php: 3:a
Oct 23 23:15:25 web2 php: 4:test
-------------------
does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks guys... (Paul) ;)
Dan.
