PMDF System Manager's Guide

Multiple script channels can be configured. Separate script channels can be used to run different command procedures or scripts.

First, multiple script channels must be defined in the PMDF configuration file. For example:

script SCRIPT-DAEMON script_msgstore SCRIPTMS-DAEMON

Second, create channel option files for each of these channels, containing the command to execute. Using the example script channels above (for UNIX), create a /pmdf/table/script_option file for the script channel, containing for example:

COMMAND=/pmdf/tmp/script.sh

Then create a /pmdf/table/script_msgstore_option file for the script_msgstore channel, containing for example:

COMMAND=/pmdf/tmp/script_msgstore.sh

Where script.sh and script_msgstore.sh are site-supplied scripts.

Third, add a SCRIPT mapping table, using the channel keyword, for example:

SCRIPT IN-CHAN=tcp_*;OUT-CHAN=l;SCRIPT channel=script IN-CHAN=tcp_*;OUT-CHAN=msgstore;SCRIPT channel=script_msgstore IN-CHAN=*;OUT-CHAN=*;SCRIPT No

In this example, the script.sh script is run for messages destined for local UNIX mail delivery, and the script_msgstore.sh script is run for messages destined for MessageStore accounts.
