[archivemail-user] Cronjob support

[Tim R. <ti...@ph...>]

Hi,

I'm new to Archivemail and I want to run Archiemail daily with a cronjob. I
have it working but wondered if there is a better way to handle checking
multiple accounts.

I have over 150 poboxes I need to check. What I'm doing now is running this
file via crontab. Is there a better way?

You can simply list multiple mailboxes on the command line.

I do this in PHP, but it could be done in Bash, Perl, Python, etc:

<?php

$dirs = array("Spam", "Trash", "Sent");

foreach($dirs as $dir){
  $users = glob("/home/*");
  foreach($users as $user){
    $folder = $user . "/mail/" . $dir;
    if(file_exists($folder)){
      $attrib = stat($folder);
      if($attrib[7]>0){
        $bits = explode("/", $user);
        $uname = $bits[2];
        system("su - " . $uname . " -c \"/usr/bin/archivemail --quiet 
--delete --days=14 " . $folder . "\"");
      };
    };
  };
};

?>

You could hack on this to make it way more configurable, you could make 
it run in parallel, etc.

Hi Nikolaus,

How exactly should I do that? I used the * after the mailbox directory and
got the following errors at the end.

IE /usr/boxes/gordonfe/asia-pacific-superyachts.com/*
