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
