Thank you for the fast reply,
But I need somethig a little bit more complicated:
I want to ensure the a whole .procmailrc execution will be completed before a next
begins.
I am trying to do a small experiment : In my .procmailrc I call to 3 different
spamfilter, and then I write the results to a file. there for I must ensure execution
completion before another execution begin.
Does anyone know how can I do it?
Thank you,
Asi

This seems more like a question for a procmail mailing list than this one,
but oh well. procmail executes once for each message it processes, so you
could have more than one procmail process running concurrently. If you are
concerned that one action is finished before the next begins, use file
locking. For instance, here's an entry from my file where I execute ClamAV:
:0fw: clamailfilter.lock
| /usr/local/bin/clamscan-procfilter
That way, even if more than one procmail process is running, ClamAV will
only be running for one of them at a time.
