I'm looking for a very simple biff daemon that checks a mailbox (preferably maildir, but IMAP/POP would do -- or even an external application) and executes a command if mail is found. I want to use this in conjunction with osd_cat to display a message on my screen. Any ideas? Thanks very much, -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jab:lewiz@jabber.org | url:http://lewiz.net |- --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/VRkOItq0KFQv7T8RAv5xAJ44k0MlSi5dSV6PYQx0SDXe6JgnfACg1GGJ fIKhe5qDpya7890dduk1D80= =C9J1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD--
