Re: [dwm] mail notification again
Peter Vollmar -- dwm (2008-01-09 23:05:49 +0100):
Hi everybody,
Following the discussion earlier in December I've found a good solution
with 'fetchmail -c' showing the number of new messages in the status bar. The
code copied from Martin Sander's comment is:
fetchmail -c|sed 's/(//'|awk '{print $1-$3}'
1
Hmm, this doesn't really work if you configure fetchmail to check more
than one folder... And, BTW: if you use more than one of grep, sed and
awk in a single pipline, you have almost always done something wrong
;-)
The problem is that fetchmail accesses the mail server as often as the
other services in the status bar are accessed - usually every few
seconds, which is unnecessarily often for imap! I've changed it to 60
seconds, which is about the lowest reasonable for the 'date' and 'uptime'. Is
there anything we can do about this?
Run all commands except fetchmail every n seconds in a loop as you
already do, and fetchmail only every m loop iterations. Thus fetchmail
will be executed only every mn seconds.
HTH, Jukka

What kind of system are you running? You can just write a short script called e.g. mailchecker.sh that does your mailchecking in a loop containing e.g. a sleep 300. Start this script in the background in your .xinitrc: ~/bin/mailchecker.sh MAILCHECKPID=$! # run dwm as before here # make sure the script is killed when dwm exits kill $MAILCHECKPID Regards Martin

Hey, it looks nearly exactly the same as the patch I had prepared (I also wanted to create some clients on startup). You've also run into exactly the same problem as me :-) I wanted to give it a try with the new redraw command (my second reason to that feature request).
