Looking for a better way!
This is what I have done so far. I created the following Perl script which connects to a foreign data to determine if there are any available agents login to the phone system.
If there are agents to send messages to then run getmail to retrieve the messages. It also makes sure the Getmail process is not already running.
Why do I want something better
-
I get the following error when this runs. But messages appear to be delivered.
a. Delivery error (command rt-mailgate 9285 wrote to stderr: cannot chdir to /root from /tmp/VurewGNWhm: Permission denied, aborting. at /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.2/File/Temp.pm line 902.)
b. msg 575/594 (85001 bytes), delivery error (command rt-mailgate 9285 wrote to stderr: cannot chdir to /root from /tmp/VurewGNWhm: Permission denied, aborting. at /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.2/File/Temp.pm line 902.)
-
I continue to get all kinds of directories left behind in the /tmp directory.

I am a newbe and know there has to be a better way.
