I have created the .procmailrc file it looks like this. The file is in

When I run it on the CLI using this command
./xymon-mailack --env=/home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg --debug
I get nothing, it just returns an empty line, and sits there. I must be
missing something.
Yes you are. The xymon-mailack program expects an email message on
standard input, and if run on the command-line your keyboard becomes
standard input. You can do something like this:
xymon-mailack --env=... < sample-email
But first you need to put an email message into the file "sample-mail".
You could create a file like this by temporarily removing the .procmailrc
file (to let messages go into the xymon user's mailbox) and then sending
the xymon user an email, and then copying a mail message from
/var/mail/xymon. Note that the mailbox file can contain multiple messages
each separated by blank line+"From " (from-space), and you only want one of
them.
