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.

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

Always use one of [ -q | --queue ] or [ -r | --run ] (but not both), in each call to queue-pr. These are mutually exclusive functions in order to avoid collisions.

OPTIONS

-q, --queue
    Accept standard input as an incoming mail message, placing this message in an incrementally numbered file in the directory xGNATS_ROOTx/gnats-queue for future handling.

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

-f filename or --file=filename
    Treat filename as input rather than reading from standard input (used with the --queue option).

-d directory or --directory=directory
    Used with the --queue option, file incoming messages into directory rather than xGNATS_ROOTx/gnats-queue. Used with the --run option, operate on the files in directory rather than xGNATS_ROOTx/gnats-queue.

FILES
xGNATS_ROOTx/gnats-queue
