Hello,

I would like to launch a BASH script when a user (let's say scriptuser@mydomain.com) receive a mail. The mail would contain some informations I have to retrieve before launching the script. Does it exists an easy way of doing this ?

Regards,
DuckProjects

Re: Launch BASH script when a particular user receive a mail

Thank you ! :-)

For information, if it can help others :
Another solution I've found is to monitor the "new" folder (incoming messages folder) of a user on the server by using INCRON. A trigger can be set each time a file is added/modified/deleted in the folder.
