wmmail problems
Is anyone else using wmmail with WindowMaker under slink? I'm having problems getting the NewMailExecute configuration option to function properly. In my ~/.wmmailrc file I have the following line: NewMailExecute cat /home/glhenni/lib/sounds/ugotmail.au /dev/audio This is straight out of the wmmail man page, but it's not functioning. If I start wmmail on the command line it starts spewing out what, at least at the beginning, is the sound file itself to the screen. I can use ps ax to see that the command cat file /dev/audio is running, but it's outputting to the screen instead of /dev/audio. I managed to get it working with xanim via: NewMailExecute xanim +Ze +Av100 /home/glhenni/lib/sounds/ugotmail.au but I don't like xanim popping up on my screen every time I get new mail. TIA, Gary
Re: wmmail problems
I don't use wmmail, but you might tyr using wmss (sound server) and nmaker (noise maker) to make the sounds ... I use that in other simple applications when I don't want a lot of overhead. Gary L.

In my ~/.wmmailrc file I have the following line: NewMailExecute cat /home/glhenni/lib/sounds/ugotmail.au /dev/audio I already had such problem. I'd used play command instead of cat. NewMailExecute play /home/glhenni/lib/sounds/ugotmail.au I'm not sure if you have to specify the device name !! Best regards, Nuno Carvalho ¨ Nuno Emanuel F. Carvalho Dep.

I had some trouble locating the package containing the play command (sox I think it was) but it's much better than xanim. Thanks! Gary

I'm trying to get wmmail to work correctly but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the commands i put in .wmmailrc. The Execute tkmail works, but the NewMailExecute and the AlwaysNewMailExecute don't work. Anyone help? Update 1 Execute tkmail NewMailExecute cat /usr/local/sounds/testsound.au /dev/audio AlwaysNewMailExecute NumOfMsgMode 1

Try to execute something like: play /usr/local/sounds/testsound.au instead of cat command. Best regards, Nuno Carvalho P.S. I don't remember very well if that's the sintax of play command but you can't use cat command.
