# n00b in bash
# please notify me per email for mods of this package.
# Looking forward to also progress with Linux
___________________________________________________________
Features:
- Bash checking of the gmail accounts
- Use the gpg encryption :) Cool no
- Check the processes, and let only one gmailbashchecker running
- Plays KDE sounds if an email has been received
- A file in /tmp/ is created as log and permits
other users to see that email is received (this is very important for
my box because I run mythtv and this pc is shared. Also the other users
can use the crontab -e )
___________________________________________________________
Bugs / Uncomplete package:
- Makes sound again when user check his emails :)
- Sending a reply for email, doesnt make any sound because gmail uses labels
- Looking forward for developpers and help (n00b level)
- Creates ~/tmp/
- Encryption and security can still be far improved
- Debug and log can be added
- A configuration file could be also added
___________________________________________________________
Requirements
- KDE sounds to be installed
- Bash (I am not sure that it works with Ubuntu
because of a bug in the sh, still uncorrected for many years. )
___________________________________________________________
Optional:
- A normal .festivalrc for Alsa:
/tmp/createthefestivalrc:
cat <<! >~/.festivalrc
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r \$SR \$FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
!
run: sh /tmp/createthefestivalrc
- Debian Stable is adviced as always

Use (example):
