Once the script is executed its executing the binary as a last step. Reference http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier

You can also convert each user as they log in for the first time, using PostLoginScripting <http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting> with a script something like:

#!/bin/sh # WARNING: Be sure to use mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes, # otherwise the files are created as root!

courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --quiet --to-dovecot --convert ~/Maildir # This is for imap, create a similar script for pop3 too exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap

in place of ~/Maildir i want to pass the home directory of users which is passed as mail variable (Query from MySql).

Appreciate your response.

Hi all I am in the process of migrating Courier to Dovecot, am using courier-dovecot-migrate.pl< http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl>it works fine. I want to migrate each user as they login using post-login script (As i have huge no of users). We are using NFS storage, users are authenticated using mysql, User home directories as passed using variable mail ( usign mysql query).

I am trying to execute postlogin script which does the conversion but unable to pass the user home directories .

--*/etc/dovecot.conf

mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/postloginscript.sh %h ---* %h ---- for home directory.

---*postloginscript.sh

#!/bin/sh /usr/libexec/dovecot/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --quiet --to-dovecot --recursive --convert $1 # This is for pop3 exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 ----*

When i pass %h as argument its creating "%h" directory and writing dovecot-uidlist and rest the files in %h directory. Its not interpreting

%h and not passing the home directory. Its just passing as it is.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can do that. The mail_executable setting is for the location of the binary.

Appreciate your response.

According to those links you need to use the various environment variables. Why have you chosen not to do that?

The variable ${HOME} - in your script, not in the mail_executable setting - should give you what you want.
