A shell script using xmessage? Go really > overboard with festival? I'm not the original poster, but I, too am curious about this. I started using screen a couple months ago, and, as a result, am much more terminal oriented. To further complicate matters, mail comes in to my server, and I retrieve it via IMAP. I have gkrellm on my desktop, and I can see when I receive mail, but I often find I don't even go into X... which means I have to periodically switch to my mutt screen to see if I have any messages and where.
I've looked into netbiffd, but no matter how I configure it, it doesn't notify me ever. Anybody out there using a CLI biff that can poll IMAP? -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
