# This will allow you to continue using xbiff(1) after you changed from
# mbox to maildir for your email. From the manpage:
#
# checkCommand (class CheckCommand)
# Specifies a shell command to be executed to check for new
# mail rather than examining the size of file. The specified
# string value is used as the argument to a system(3) call and
# may therefore contain i/o redirection. An exit status of 0
# indicates that new mail is waiting, 1 indicates that there has
# been no change in size, and 2 indicates that the mail has been
# cleared. By default, no shell command is provided.
#
# Here's an example usage from my ~/.Xresources:
#
# xbiff*checkCommand: /home/suter/bin/xbiff-checkcommand-maildir /home/suter/mail/In/inbox/
# xbiff*update: 45
#
## Our "die" function (think perl)
die () { echo "$@" 1>&2 ; exit 3 ; }
## Check for our needed binaries
hash test basename cat find wc touch || die $0: required binaries not present
## We expect one arguemnt, the maildir directory
maildir="$1"
test -n "$maildir" || die Usage: $(basename $0) maildir
test -d $maildir || die $0: Thing \"$maildir\" is not a directory.
test -d $maildir/new || die $0: Directory \"$maildir\" does not have a new subdir.
## We need to keep state
count=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/.xbiff-checkcommand-maildir.count
state=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/.xbiff-checkcommand-maildir.state
## Read the stored count (zero on error)
old=$(cat $count 2>/dev/null)
test -n "$old" || old=0
## Get current count of emails newer than our state file
if test -e $state ; then
new=$(find $maildir/new/ -type f -newer $state -print | wc -l)
else
new=$(find $maildir/new/ -type f -print | wc -l)
fi
## Write the count for next time
echo $new > $count || die $0: error writing state
## Exit correctly (according the man page above)
test $new -eq 0 -a $old -ne 0 && touch $state && exit 2 # new emails cleared
test $old -ge $new && exit 1 # no new arrivals since last check
test $old -lt $new && exit 0 # more new emails than last check
## Catch fallthough
die $0: should never be reached
