"This script launches SpamBayes then Thunderbird. Once Thunderbird quits, SpamBayes is shut down." #!/bin/bash # SpamBayes database and configuration files are stored at $SB_HOME SB_HOME=~/spambayes [ ! -d $SB_HOME ] && mkdir $SB_HOME cd $SB_HOME # Launch the proxy in background sb_server.py & # Launch the email client mozilla-thunderbird # Shutdown the server (taken from sb_server.py) python - <<-EOS from urllib import urlopen, urlencode urlopen('http://localhost:8880/save', urlencode({'how': 'Save & shutdown'})).read() EOS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Joseph> Nothing showed up in the logs.... should there be a script in > Joseph> /etc/init.d/ ? > > Skip> Normally, I would say "yes" though I have no idea how Adept works > Skip> its magic.
