Having now read the mail-notification manpage... the problem is mail-notification. It should provide a way for other apps to signal a notification (the whole Unix philosophy of decomposability, etc.) but it does not. Periodically dumping all new messages into a dummy mbox file is a terrible idea, but I think that's your only Sup-specific option. Patching mail-notification is a better idea, though that may not be what you want to hear. If you're using a recent Gnome, you have some other options. If you're running notification-daemon (e.g. Ubuntu 9.04), you can install the libnotify-bin package and having the after-poll hook call notify-bin on new email. (Not quite the same.) You can also look at the indicator-applet: libindicate also has Python bindings, so you could install python-indicate and write a python short program to use that. -- William <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
