Welcome to the forum.


A few comments first:
- Please use code tags to improve readability and understandability of your code and data.
- exercise utmost care when composing your spec: a leading (or missing) slash can make a huge difference in the functioning (or mal-) of your script (here: /var vs var)
- WAY too many spaces. Your code given above will not run. NO spaces around = and / , and following $ . Too few around [ and ] .



When reading your request, my first thought was: a system like that should have hooks (or so) to trigger actions on events like incoming mail. Et voila, from the project homepage:

Quote:
The program can be run as a SMS daemon which ... can run other external programs or scripts after events like reception of a new message ...
Did you consider that functionality, which is to be preferred over repeatedly listing directory contents?
