Also, if you look at the examples at http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting you can see how it's used and how to call multiple scripts as well.

Hi!

You need to use executable = script-login -- /path/post-login.sh -a -r -g -s note the double-dash. it tells getopt to stop processing arguments.

Aki Thanks Aki. So that let's me call a single script with arguments. Great. What if there is more than one script? I'm unable to guess what the complete syntax would be for calling more than one script, some of which may have their own arguments. Please keep responses in the list. Maybe you could, I don't know, call multiple scripts in your script?

Also, can you help with my other two questions (below):

...

Question 1:

The examples show the following at the end of the post-login.sh script: exec "$@"

My understanding is that this would exec each of the command line arguments to the post-login.sh script. But, there are no arguments sent to the post-login.sh script in the examples. So what is this line supposed to do? It will execute something dovecot wants in order to import the env variables set in your question 2.

...

...

Question 2:

One of the examples shows exporting some environmental variables, followed by the above exec line:

export MAIL=maildir:/tmp/test

export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS mail"

exec "$@"

Now, I'm really confused. Can someone explain step-by-step why this does anything at all?
