Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Stop sending mail after certain number of mail Post 302466337 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 26th of October 2010 07:32:16 AM

Assuming ksh, but probably very similar in other shells:-

Code:
if <whatever your condition is>
then
   ((i=`cat statusfile`+1))
   echo $i > statusfile
   if [ $i -le 5 ]
   then
       sendmail commands here
   fi
else
   echo 0 > statusfile     # Make sure there is a space after the zero
fi


Does that help?

CLAWS-MAIL-PGPINLI(1)					    CLAWS-MAIL-PGPINLINE Manual 				     CLAWS-MAIL-PGPINLI(1)

NAME
claws-mail-pgpinline - Handling of PGP/Inline signed and/or encrypted mails. DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-pgpinline plugin. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. claws-mail-pgpinline is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. This plugin allows decrypting mails, verifying signatures and sign or encrypt your own mails using PGP/Inline. It requires GnuPG and GPGME. Notice this method for signing or encryption is deprecated and you probably should be using PGP/MIME, but it is still provided for compatibility with user agents which are unable to handle the 10-year old PGP/MIME standard (being Outlook from Windows platform the most noticeable example). USAGE
Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. For this you must go "Configuration" menu on main window toolbar, open "Plugins..." dialog, click on the "Load plugin..." button and select the plugin file, named pgpinline.so, and press the "Open" button. FILES
/usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/pgpinline.so The loadable module for claws-mail-pgpinline. ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf Configuration file for GnuPG, read man gpg for details. BUGS
Please use reportbug claws-mail-pgpinline for reporting Debian bugs for this package. The upstream BTS can be found at http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi. SEE ALSO
