POSTLOCK(1) POSTLOCK(1)
<b>NAME</b>
postlock - lock mail folder and execute command
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postlock</b> [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i><b>] [-l</b> <i>lock</i><b>_</b><i>style</i><b>]</b>
<b>[-v</b>] <i>file command...</i>
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <a href="postlock.1.html"><b>postlock</b>(1)</a> command locks <i>file</i> for exclusive access, and executes
<i>command</i>. The locking method is compatible with the Postfix UNIX-style
local delivery agent.
Options:
<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
Read the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file in the named directory
instead of the default configuration directory.
<b>-l</b> <i>lock</i><b>_</b><i>style</i>
Override the locking method specified via the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#mailbox_delivery_lock">mailbox_deliv</a>-</b>
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#mailbox_delivery_lock">ery_lock</a></b> configuration parameter (see below).
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple <b>-v</b>
options make the software increasingly verbose.
Arguments:
<i>file</i> A mailbox file. The user should have read/write permission.
<i>command...</i>
The command to execute while <i>file</i> is locked for exclusive
access. The command is executed directly, i.e. without inter-
pretation by a shell command interpreter.
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
The result status is 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL) when <a href="postlock.1.html"><b>postlock</b>(1)</a> could not per-
form the requested operation. Otherwise, the exit status is the exit
status from the command.
<b>BUGS</b>
With remote file systems, the ability to acquire a lock does not neces-
sarily eliminate access conflicts. Avoid file access by processes run-
ning on different machines.
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
<b>MAIL_CONFIG</b>
Directory with Postfix configuration files.
<b>MAIL_VERBOSE</b>
Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes.
