- Description
-
cm provides simple mail monitoring functionality of local
mail folders. It triggers a specified external command, if new
mail has arrived. Before calling a command the MAIL-environment-
variable is set explicitely to the name of the monitored
file.
cm uses the following order to determine the file or
directory to be checked: First, it tries to monitor the
file specified by the -f-switch. Second, if the latter is
not specified, it tries to monitor the file specified in
the MAIL-environment-variable. Third, if the latter is
either unset or invalid, it tries to monitor a default
file, /var/spool/mail/USERNAME,
with USERNAME being the user's name.
cm is capable of dealing with
traditional mail folders
as well as mail folders in
maildir-format.
cm does not monitor remote mail folders, that is, POP- or IMAP-folders,
but only local files. There are numerous other tools which do.
