Well, there's no guarantee that you're reading the mail on the
box in question, etc. Perhaps something utilizing yum-updatesd
might be better?
Actually I can guarantee that because sendmail/procmail runs on my
Fedora box... I access my e-mail via IMAP.
But, I see your point in general applications... if I have F7 on my
laptop for example, that mail-sorting method won't be accurate. But, for
what I want... it's perfect. :-)
For example... I received an e-mail with this subject:
Fedora 7 Update: xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-8.fc7
Thats great... very consistent subject patterns, but from a programming
point of view, how do I know where the program name ends (so I can use
it with an rpm -q command to see if it is installed), and where the
version number starts (so I can compare it with the results of rpm -q)?
It would help is there was a blank between program name and version
number... or even more explicit:
Fedora 7 Update: xorg-x11-server Version: 1.3.0.0-8.fc7
echo "xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-8.fc7" | awk -F '-' '{ print gensub("-"," ",NF-2) }'
There are certainly simpler ways.
Thanks.... I found a way to easily extract the info from the message boy
using native procmail syntax.
