Heya, list!
Well the release takes some more days, sorry for that. I hope to
finalize coding tomorrow or so, but then i want to coverity and
run tests on several VMs, which is slow here, and NEWS etc. takes
some time.
But i am lucky that this MUA can be used to avoid sending messages
at 42! Two weeks ago i had sent out a message at :42:42, and to
a lady, and so the time finally had come to do something against
it .. and it has saved me twice in the meantime.
set on-compose-leave=on-compose-leave
define on-compose-leave {
\local set res m s
# TODO use vexpr isodate or what
\vput ! res date +'%M %S'
\if [ $? -eq 0 ]
\vput vexpr res trim-end $res
\vput vexpr m substr ${res} 0 2
\vput vexpr s substr ${res} 3
\if [ $s == 42 ]
\echo 'Second 42, sleeping a second'
\sleep 1
\xcall on-compose-leave
\end
\if [ $m == 42 ]
\vput vexpr res - 10#$s 60
\vput vexpr res - 0 $res
\echo 'Minute 42, sleeping '$res' seconds'
\sleep $res
\xcall on-compose-leave
\end
\end
}
This is terrible, and i really would like to see that improved
with builtin support for date+time, and easier variable
assignment, almost as easy as in the shell. v14.9.12 will bring
unary -, so that "- 0 $res" can then simply be "- $res".
But it works! Never again 42!
Ciao from within Germany and an awakening Spring time!
