rlm_echo

Synopsis

The echo module is a variant of the exec module.

Processing Sections

None.

Expansions

This module registers only one expansion.

echo
Syntax

%{echo: …​}

Contents

The contents of the expansion are the name of the program, and any arguments to it. For security reasons, the full path to the program must be used, e.g., /bin/true. The output of the expansion is any text that was printed by the program.

The stdin of the executed program is connected to /dev/null.

The stdout of the executed program is captured by the module and returned as the output of the expansion.

The stderr of the executed program is connected to /dev/null.

Directives

See the exec module for a description of the directives.

The configuration for the echo module should not be changed. If there is a need for another variant of the exec module, then instead of modifying echo, a new module should be created .
