I'll try to test this in the next week or so. I really need to update my extensions for TB beta 4, so I'll be checking stuff like this prior to that release. But I am not aware of any reason that it should not work under Linux.

Solved my problem.

I was trying to run a shell script directly.

It worked by using

"/bin/sh,/home/ajk/shell.sh,@SUBJECT@"

Appreciate your work.

Thank You.

How to make bash script or file.sh to capture parameter? I try using $1 in script but it doesnt capture parameter

file.sh

#! /bin/bash

echo $1 >> text.txt

run file from FittaQuilla

/home/file.sh,@SUBJECT@

Try to test it, and I see from

- the filter log that the filter run

- no error from error console

but the text.txt is still empty, the permission is 777, try to run it from shell with

./file.sh helllo

and the test.txt have "hello" word in it.

Please help and thank you.

I am only an occasional Linux user, and that for server work, so I don't run Thunderbird on Linux very often. But let me make a suggestion here.

I suspect what is happening is that /home/file.sh as a script is not really a system level process, which is what RUN starts, but is interpreted that way by other software (like by bash itself). So I think that what you need to do is to actually run bash from the FiltaQuilla RUN command, and figure out how to pass parameters to it to then get it to do what you want it to do. There must be a way to start bash where the @SUBJECT@ that will appear as a parameter will then get interpreted that way by the script.
