The way it works is that exim running as SYSTEM setuid to "tabel" and forks a delivery process. The PATH in the delivery process is /usr/bin, see "path" in sections 28.3 and 28.4 of the exim user guide http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.10/doc/html/spec.html Where do you set $ENV{PATH}=... Is it in the script? (by the way, I don't know perl) Try to print debug information (e.g. commands "mount", "id", "env") from inside the script after you have set the PATH and other stuff. Can you execute other simple commands from inside the script? > > When does exim call this during mail processing? > > Hmm. > Exim calls this script because there is following > string in .forward for user: > |/home/tabel/test.pl > > > Is it from a .forward file (guess from the Subject: line) > > Yes. > And it runs from user tabel, not from SYSTEM (exim runs from SYSTEM), > as I see in task manager. > > > Is there an error message in the exim log? > Yes. > > 2003-04-11 08:18:09 HD5T67-0002I4-N0 ** |"/home/tabel/test.pl" > kam.com> R=userforward T=address_pipe: Child process of address_pipe > transport r > eturned 255 (could mean shell command ended by signal 127 (NULL)) from > command: > /home/tabel/test.pl Pierre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
