Usage of hooks w/ notmuch

Usage of hooks w/ notmuch

[Jan Detke]

Hi,

I got a problem using hooks with notmuch (Version 0.37-3). I specified the hook directory under [database] in my notmuch config. The script (post-new.sh) is executable and works when invoked manually in the terminal, but it does not get executed after invoking notmuch new. There is no additional output given in the terminal.

I also paid attation to the following section of the documentation https://notmuchmail.org/initial_tagging/ and applied the given examples on my system. Hook still wont run.

Do I have to make additional changes in my config in order to use hooks (mainly post-new)?

Best regards
Jan

You need to follow the naming in notmuch-hooks(5) exactly, so
<hook_dir>/post-new rather than <hook-dir>/post-new.sh
