Is there a way to get the script output and some kind of a notice if
the exit status of the script is non-zero in a directory mail source
:prescript?
I have the following in ~/.gnus:
(setq mail-sources '((directory :path "~/path/to/mail-in"
:prescript "~/path/to/get-mail-script")))
Now, the problem is that if the get-mail-script has a non-zero exit or
produces some output, nothing is shown in the Emacs buffers.
The following patch almost does what I have in mind:
--- orig.mail-source.el 2005-03-18 06:35:29.000000000 +0200
+++ mail-source.el 2006-04-19 00:09:56.000000000 +0300

(defun mail-source-call-script (script)
- (let ((background nil))
- (when (string-match "& *$" script)
- (setq script (substring script 0 (match-beginning 0))
- background 0))
- (call-process shell-file-name nil background nil
- shell-command-switch script)))
+ (let ((resize-mini-windows nil)
+ (max-mini-window-height 0))
+ (shell-command script)))
;;;
;;; Different fetchers
Unfortunately (shell-command) does not pop the output buffer if there
is only single line of output. It doesn't help to change the
`resize-mini-windows' or `max-mini-window-height' either.
If the script exist status is non-zero, (shell-command) produces no
output.
