opendmarc-importstats(8)

✨ opendmarc-importstats ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're talking about opendmarc-importstats — it's a page from section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, and it's honestly the chillest little script you'll ever meet 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

opendmarc-importstats — the girl who imports your OpenDMARC statistics/history data 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

opendmarc-importstats

no options, no arguments, no drama. she just goes. periodt. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so opendmarc-importstats is, and I quote, a fairly trivial shell script 💖 and she's usually run by cron(8), like she's on a little schedule, living her best life.

here's her whole routine, step by step, no cap:

1. she rotates an OpenDMARC statistics/history data file to a unique filename 🔄
2. then she tries to import that file into a local database, so it can be processed later — and she does this by running opendmarc-import(8) 🫶

and then, depending on how it went:

• if the import slayed (success) → the unique file gets removed 🗑️✨ clean, tidy, iconic.
• if the import flopped (failure) → she runs ls(1) on the file and exits without removing the unique file 😭

now why would she do that last part? because the whole point of that final step is to make cron generate a message to a responsible party 📬 so that somebody actually investigates the failure. it's giving "not me leaving evidence so you'll notice me" 💀 and honestly? valid.

⭐ VERSION ⭐
