- WatchTHOR is a small notification program to be used with THOR 2.0 or
- higher to notify you or start a specific program when new messages
- arrive in a conference. It is pure and can be made resident. It can
- only be run from shell. WatchTHOR has no code to handle startup from
- Workbench, so do NOT start it from Workbench! It was never meant to
- be a do-it-all program for notification, someone else can make that.
- However, since several users has requested such a possibility and I
- had 2 hours of free time, I decided to make something. Whenever the
- developerkit is made available, I'll make the source code public domain.
- But until that happens, WatchTHOR is freely distributable but NOT in
- the public domain.
-
- <insert standard disclaimer here>
-
- WatchTHOR accepts the following arguments:
-
- SYSTEMNAME
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- The name of the system to watch.
-
- CHECKDELAY
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- The number of minutes between each check.
-
- Default: 5
-
- CONFERENCE
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- The name of the conference to check.
-
- Default: EMail
-
- RUNCOMMAND
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- The command to run when new messages has arrived in a conference.
- No requester will open.
-
- Example:
-
- 1> watchthor "news&mail" checkdelay 5
-
- This command line will check for new messages in EMail every 5
- minutes, and bring up a requester on the frontmost screen with how
- many new messages that arrived.
-
- 1> watchthor "news&mail" checkdelay 5 runcommand "dsound NewMail"
-
- Will do as the example above, except that it will run the program
- dsound with "NewMail.iff" as argument.
