First off, I'm lousy with Perl.
That being said, everything in the script works except for the few lines
that I've commented out, and the second to last line, where I try to
remove the files that are in the shared-maildir spam drop box. I've
tried quotes, full path names, backticks, everything that I can think
of, but the results end up being the same.
Help?
The script:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/bin $ cat eat_spam.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Just a script to gather up spam, tar it up,
# and move it over to mailgate for further
# processing.
#
# Friday, May 13th, 2005.
#
use warnings;
# define some variables
$spambucket = "/home/vmail/shared-maildirs/Spamdrop/.Incoming/cur";
$canofspam = "spam.tar";
# die if $canofspam is already there
# die "$canofspam already exists, exiting...\n" if (-f "$canofspam");
#if (-e "$canofspam") {
#system("tar -cf $canofspam $spambucket");
#} else {
print"Creating the tarball...\n";
system("tar -rf $canofspam $spambucket");
print"Created the tarball...\n";
system("chown jnichols:users $canofspam");
print"Changed permissions on $canofspam...\n";
system("scp $canofspam [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/");
print"Moved $canofspam to mailgate...\n";
system("rm $canofspam");
system("ls $spambucket | while read f; do sudo rm \$f; done");
print"Removed old spam from $spambucket";
The results, and some stuff I've tried:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/bin $ ./eat_spam.pl
Creating the tarball...
