Is it a script? I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 with Dovecot 1.1.11 and there is no /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool.sh though there is a /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool file which is an executable binary.

Possible apologies re grannies/egg-sucking, but:

Where you want to find out what a file "is" in situations like this, you may find the program "file" useful

luser@myhost:~$ file /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped luser@myhost:~$

On Ubuntu, the "file" program is provided by the package "file".

Looks like a newer version that I can't help on. Should be plenty others around at some point.

Hi,

I'm sure, I do something the wrong way.

indeed.

Check dovecot-wiki, section "Dovecot v1.2":

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire

create the expire-tool.sh and use this instead of the binary.

best regards,

Anton

This is a bashism. The script should begin #!/bin/bash, not #!/bin/sh. Or rewrite it in plain sh:

l="" for i in ${MAIL_PLUGINS}; do case $i in imap_quota|mail_log) ;; *) l="$l $i";; esac done

MAIL_PLUGINS="${l# }"
