OK. I did it, I wrote a piece of C code sleeping 15 minutes, then launching "fetchmail -c" and parsing the output in order to have its own output (I mean my piece of code can write in its own customized format a short line of output). Then I used backtick 1 0 0 checkmail hardstatus alwaysmessage %1` I set backtick to 1 0 0 rathen than 1 60 1 as explained in another answer I got. Since I like rather the "message" format than the "lastline" (which makes less place for applications). It works, but... the behaviour of the message is poor : when my process writes something, I have a message whatever I am doing (wich is what I want), but it seems I have also the message (probable the "last message" when I switch from a windows to another, when I open a new window, etc.). What I would like is my message appearing 5 or 10 sec. then disappearing (I have that now) but no message at all when I open a new window, switch from one to another, etc. Now, once a message has appeared for the first time, I have it repeated absolutely in every circumstances (except if I do nothing related to 'screen'). -- Thomas Baruchel _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
