Somewhat OT...
Okay, maybe a lot OT...
I have these cron jobs on a computer, and I want the email output from them.
But I don't want sendmail running 24/7, and when it does run, I'd just as
soon it *ONLY* processed email and sent it out, without even opening up
port 25 and listening.
I guess the port 25 stuff is not too terribly important, behind 2
firewalls and all, but...
Anyway, I definitely want it to run and process however much it can, but
to STOP at a pre-determined time.
This is for the computer in my sound booth, and I only want it running
when we are not trying to record live music or burn CDs.
I've Google and read a fair amount of stuff, most of which is giving me a
headache rather than suggesting a solution...
Is there some command line flags I can use to make sendmail run and send
out just *ONE* message from the /var/mail/mqueue or whatever, and then
QUIT and do nothing else?
I can take care of shaping the behaviour from that point using cron and
PHP to run sendmail when I want...
THANKS and please reply off-list as I'm sure most folks don't want to read
this.
