queue-pr(8)

NAME
queue-pr - incoming mail control for GNATS

SYNOPSIS

queue-pr
    [ -q | --queue ] [ -r | --run ]
    [ -f filename | --file=filename ]
    [ -d directory | --directory=directory ]

DESCRIPTION
`queue-pr -q' should run through a pipe(2V) via the mail aliases(5) mechanism to automatically place incoming bug reports in a queue directory for GNATS.

`queue-pr -r' should be run via cron(8) to periodically empty the GNATS queue, filing new bug reports in the database.

One of [ -q | --queue ] or [ -r | --run ] (and not both) should be present upon each call to queue-pr. These are separate functions in order to avoid collisions.

OPTIONS

-q, --queue
    accepts standard input as an incoming mail file, placing this file in the directory @GNATS_ROOT@/gnats-queue for future handling.

-r, --run
    feeds all files from the directory @GNATS_ROOT@/gnats-queue to file-pr(8) which files and creates index entries for each.

-f filename or --file=filename
    used with the --queue option, treats filename rather than stdin as the input to use for an incoming file

-d directory or --directory=directory
    resets the default directory value; when used with the --queue option, files incoming messages into directory rather than @GNATS_ROOT@/gnats-queue. When used with the --run option, operates on the files in directory rather than @GNATS_ROOT@/gnats-queue.

FILES
@GNATS_ROOT@/gnats-queue
