Hi all,

I'm facing a problem and its urgent.

Can anybody help me in this:

I'm using procmail to filter mails and put the spam mails in separate file.
Now the problem is, its creates the file with root as owner and webmail cant
read it unless the owner is apache.

I'm trying following code to change owner and permission but somehow it's
not working (no erroras either), while if i change the code slightly it
gives valid errors, which means it executes. Code is:

if [ -f "$SPAMFILE" ]; then
       chown apache.mail "$SPAMFILE"
       chmod 660 "$SPAMFILE"
else
       LOG = "$_: ERROR: Could not change ownership of '$SPAMFILE'"
fi

What's wrong with it? or if it wont work, how shud i do tht?

Please help me ASAP..

Thanks in advance
Nitin
