📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

💌 LR_PROCESSMAIL.IN(1) — like, the manual page, bestie 💌

okay so this is lr_processmail from LogReport's Lire Documentation and honestly? it's giving "tiny script, huge responsibilities" ✨ she reads an email, she pulls the log out, she hands it off. main character energy fr fr 💅

✨ NAME ✨

lr_processmail — reads an email message and then invokes lr_log2mail(1) 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lr_processmail service

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: lr_processmail reads an email message straight off STDIN 😌, parses that message using lr_getbody(1), and then calls up lr_log2mail(1) to go process the log file it just extracted. teamwork, slay 💖

The environment variable LR_ID is used as an identifier 🏷️ — it shows up in debug messages and in the names of temporary files, so Lire jobs can get tracked. and like, a Lire job? currently identified with one email message or one log file. one job = one message or one log file, periodt 👑

This script gets invoked by lr_spool(1), iykyk 🧚

The files you specify in the lr_mail_signature and lr_mail_disclaimer configurartion variables get sent along with the generated report 📎 cute, right?

And if an error happens during the report generation process? an email message explaining possible sources for the error gets sent to the email addresses 😭 like, she's not gonna leave you hanging.

The -o xml format is genuinely the move when your log file was anonymized, because then it can be deanonymized before being formatted using lr_xml2report(1) or lr_xml2mail(1) 🔥 and when you're using that format, the file specified in the lr_mail_explanation configuration variable gets included in the outgoing message. no cap 💯

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈
