Hello All!

I'm trying to execute a shell script with binkd on a file receive but it doesn't work. :(

The config is this:

exec "/home/husky/bin/netsegments.sh" net33?.???

I'm sending the file named net335.312 from my point and this is the log at the receiving node:

Obviusly the shell script wasn't executed. :(

Where am I wromg?

P.S. These other exec statements are working fine.

exec "/home/husky/bin/mfreq-srif -c /home/husky/mfreq/etc/srif.cfg -s *S" *.req exec "/home/husky/bin/mailin.sh" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.tic *.pkt


Thanks! :)

Ciao!
Fabio

HTH.

Tried, no way.

BTW I did it at last, I've had to add the full path of the received file.
It sounds a bit strange because the other exec statements works without the full path added. :/

This Works:
exec "/home/husky/bin/netsegments.sh" /home/husky/in.sec/net33?.???

This doesent work:
exec "/home/husky/bin/netsegments.sh" net33?.???

This always works:
exec "/home/husky/bin/mailin.sh" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.tic *.pkt

That's one way of looking at it. If your script knows where to look every time, you win. Because the binkD setting is only a trigger.

OTOH. I share your frustration. It would be nice if binkD was consistent.

Cheers,
Paul.

Those files have wildcard that includes the full path
*/net33?.??? should work as well.

So the facing asterisk in the working example has a double meaning:

1) Every file name before the dot.
2) Every path.

It sounds a bit odd. :) Usually in *nix shells the wildcard limits it influence
only on the file name and doesn't touch the path.

Many thanks for the help! :)

It looked strange to me as well. But we are used to use the wildcard in
a search though directories. In the case of binkd, binkd has the fqn as
parameter and compares it with the wildcard mask.
