NAME
xbuffy - yet another biff for the X Window System
SYNOPSIS
xbuffy [X toolkit options] [-help] [-version] [-horiz] [-silent] [-poll seconds] [-header
seconds] [-acmd soundfile] [-nobeep] [-nohighlight] [-names] [-orig] [-priority priority]
[-command command] [-shortnames] [-mail <mailbox files...>] [-news <newsgroup names...>]
DESCRIPTION
Xbuffy is based on Xmultibiff by John Reardon.
Xbuffy keeps track of multiple mailboxes. You can either specify mailbox files on the
command line, in a Xresources file, in a text configuration file, or set your MAILPATH
environment variable (a colon separated list of files). It will display the number of new
messages in each mail file in a box. You can clear the reverse video in a box by clicking
on the box with Button 3.
Another key feature of xbuffy is that it will use NNTP to watch newsgroups in the same way
it watches mailboxes. You can also specify newsgroups on the command line, in Xresources,
in a text configuration file (the same file can specify both mailboxes and newsboxes), or
set your NEWSPATH environment variable using the same format as the MAILPATH environment
variable.
By specifying certain command line options and/or Xresources, xbuffy can show the From and
Subject lines in each box. It can also invoke shell commands on button clicks. Each box
can be configured differently by using a boxfile. In general, it is a very extensible
biff. Read on for details on what it can do.
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized:
-help Print a brief help message and exit
-version Print the current version and exit
-poll secs
How often the mailbox files are polled for new mail. If this is not specified,
it will use the MAILCHECK environment variable. (default: 60)
-header secs
This will display the From: and Subject: lines from incoming mail messages in a
popup window when button 1 is pressed in the box label. The mail header will
also popup automatically for the amount of time indicated in secs when new mail
arrives. If secs is 0, the mail header will not pop up when new mail arrives.
Clicking in the popup window when mail arrives (if the argument is non-zero)
will instantly popdown the window. This feature was borrowed from xpbiff.
-fill Makes all the boxes the same size.
-center Centers the name of the box in the box. This option turns on the fill option.
-acmd sound command
This will run a command instead of ringing the bell when new mail arrives. For
example, you could "cat meow >/dev/audio". This option could also be used to
automatically open a mail reader when new mail arrives.
-horiz This will line up the boxes horizontally (default: vertical)
-nobeep This will disable the beep when new mail arrives
-silent Ignore all beep or audio commands. (i.e. be silent)
-nohighlight
This will disable the highlighting of the box in case of new mail.
-boxfile filename
The name of a file containing configuration information for the boxes. The
boxfile is an alternative way of specifying what to watch. The boxfile also
allows each box to have different polltime, headertime, etc.
-origMode This will show all messages in each mailbox. It has no effect on news groups.
-names Will display the full pathname of all the mailboxes it is watching.
-shortnames
Will display the file names of all the mailboxes it is watching.
-priority priority
Nice level at which xbuffy and its child processes will run.
-command command
This is the default command that is to be executed when Button 2 is pressed on a
box.
X Options Standard X windows options (e.g. -fn, -display, etc.)
