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
