I've dug through documentation all over the place and no go so far. How can I let a procmail recipe pop up a display using xmessage if the user owning the procmailrc happens to be logged in to a local xsession at the time it is processed? I keep getting the following error:
procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/X11R6/bin/xmessage" Error: Can't open display: This is the recipe: #test case :0bc * ^From.*[EMAIL PROTECTED] |/usr/X11R6/bin/xmessage --display :0.0 -default okay -nearmouse -file - I tried adding an su to the user's id but then it complains that su must be run from a terminal (even though I used -c?). I fixed the lockfile error (by not using one on the "c" recipe) and the message drops into my mailbox by the next matching recipe just fine. I have xmessage working how I want from the command line, just can't get it to pop to the displat from procmail. I'll also need to add a "&" on that recipe so procmail won't stop there, right?
