i am trying to accomplish reding the subject line of the email and parsing the parameter to the script which i am creating to do the job.
The point is to run the script as soon as the email arrives.
Example:
Email: Sub: Dojob param1=ABC param2 = 3
i need a way to run the script like this. myscript.sh ABC 3.
Note: i already have the script which is run manually after reading the mail . I have to type the parameters and run it every single time. I now want a way or a program that can read this email subject(which has a fixed format) and run the script automatically.
I hope i am clear

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
