💅 LR_SPOOLD.IN(1) — like, the daemon that keeps your spool cute

okay so real talk, this page is straight out of LogReport's Lire Documentation and it's basically about a tiny little daemon bestie named lr_spoold 💖

✨ NAME ✨

lr_spoold — a daemon that invokes lr_spool for all services, periodically. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lr_spoold

no flags, no args, no cap. she takes nothing and she gives everything 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so lr_spoold is typically invoked from an init script after booting the system. like, it's a "wake up babe, the system just booted" kind of situation 🌅

it should be started as

lr_run lr_spoold

under the Lire useraccount. ngl that's the whole point — this is used to keep an online responder running. and if you want the full tea, see the "Responder Installation" section in the "Installing Lire" chapter of the Lire User Manual. iykyk 📖✨

lr_spoold invokes lr_check_service(1) to get a list of services, which are used as addresses for an online responder. so for each address $service in this list, it runs

lr_spool $spooldir lr_processmail $service

periodically. and $spooldir gets constructed using profile_lean and the address. lowkey obsessed with how that works 🧚

typically, spooldir is a Maildir's new subdirectory, like e.g.

.../var/spool/lire/$address/Maildir/new/

.

in effect, we make it possible to invoke lr_processmail with the right arguments for each message, so that logfiles in the messages get processed by the right 2dlf convertor. main character energy for real 👑🔥
