Hi, I try to define a filter that executes an external shell script. However, the result is erratic. Sometimes the shell-script is executed correctly, sometimes it isn't. Lets say, 25% of the time it runs, 75% it does not. I have no clue why, it feels like throwing dice.
The script with filename "received_mail_from_john" contains the following: (begin script) espeak "Why am I only read out loud sometimes, and not always?" (end script) I also checked the filter log. It always looks good. It states that the script is called (except that sometimes this does not have any effect): (begin log) 2020-05-06 13:39:21 - Applied filter "john_mail" to message from john < j...@zoho.com> - "Re: Andijvie?" Info value 'john <jo...@zoho.com>' of header 'From' does match 'john' Finished test of message uid:62958 subject:'Re: Andijvie?' from 'da...@ziggo.nl : INBOX' as MATCHED Filter 'john_mail' matched Action: Executing shell command: [/bin/sh -c /home/danny/shellscripts/communication/received_mail_from_john] (end log) I have tested this "in vivo" by waiting for emails, and also "in vitro" by pressing Ctrl-Y. The script always works flawlessly when executing it from the command line. Thanks, DrO
