CHECKMAIL(1)CHECKMAIL(1)NAMEcheckmail - plays a sound file when the user receives mail
SYNOPSIScheckmailDESCRIPTION
The checkmail program checks the status of the user's mail drop. If
new mail is waiting, checkmail runs playbucket to play a sound and
returns an exit status of 0. If mail has been cleared, an exit status
of 2 is returned. If there has been no change, an exit status of 1 is
returned.
The checkmail program is intended to be used with the checkCommand
resource of xbiff. To set this resource, add the following line to
your .Xdefaults file:
xbiff*checkCommand: checkmailFILES
/usr/spool/mail/$USER the user's mail drop
$HOME/.mailstat holds the previous mail drop size
$HOME/.mailsound audio file to play when there's new mail
