Email Piping problem

[SteveG]

Hi all,

I have a problem with setting the email piping. Piping wasn't available on my server, so i set up the POP2PIPE Perl script.

Now it works when I call it via my web browser and the emails go through as expected and a txt log records the event.

So I've tried to set up a cron job to automate this but a funny thing happens, the cgi registers that it has worked via a different txt log, this log has appeared in the base directory, not in the directory where all the other ticket cgi stuff is or where the previous txt log is, and the emails don't go through.

I've played around with this quite a bit but can't get it to work

My host suggests that I need the correct syntax to use in the cron.

Can anyone help with this?

When executing pop2pipe via browser the TTX scrips folder is current (Apache does this automatically). When running cron job current folder is anything but the TTX scripts folder. I would suggest modifying cron entry

/path/to/some/folder/pop2pipe.cgi => cd /path/to/some/folder;./pop2pipe.cgi
