Free watcher 1.2 software for linux

mswatch project is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.
mswatch watches mailboxes to know when to initiate mailbox syncs. Using mswatch, your mail synchronization program can be called on demand instead of through polling, resulting in prompter mail delivery and lower bandwidth usage and server load.
mswatch is designed to work in conjunction with mailbox synchronization programs, currently supports watching Linux (2.4+) hosted Maildirs (including Maildir folders, Maildir++), and is licensed under the GNU GPL. Future support for additional mailbox formats, especially for mbox, is planned.
Why mswatch
Keeping a set of mailboxes on multiple computers means keeping the copies synchronized (eg on ones desktop and laptop or on a personal computer that can not be reached while on the road an always-reachable server). While the IMAP protocol is designed to support this and is widely used, IMAP clients can only detect mailbox changes by querying the server.
Thus clients generally either sync when the user requests or sync periodically. However, because each mailbox sync uses server and network resources and because users often have a number of mailboxes, many of which receive mail infrequently, one must compromise between prompt message delivery and low server and network resource usage. Typical practice is to sync only when the user requests or to sync periodically with 5-10 minute frequencies. Nonetheless, it is often helpful for users to see new mail fairly soon after its arrival (eg notifications, group meeting changes, or active conversation threads).
mswatch addresses this speed of delivery vs resource usage tradeoff using interrupt-based instead of polling behavior to detect mailbox changes. mswatch asks each of the two mailstores to send mailbox change notifications; when mswatch receives a notification it in turn invokes the users mailbox synchronization program for the changed mailbox. Thus, idle mailboxes do not use active resources and prompt mailbox synchronization is efficient.
Version restrictions:
- Because mswatch abstracts mail changes and synchronization to the mailbox (instead of message) level and because mail watcher communication is one-way, extra mailbox syncs occur. While it would be great to avoid this extra work, it is in the noise compared to the number of empty syncs that polling accumulates.
For example, the case of new mail delivered to the mail servers INBOX:
(1) mswatch detects the changed server INBOX
(2) mswatch invokes the mail syncer for INBOX, which adds the mail to the local INBOX
(3) mswatch detects the changed local INBOX
(4) mswatch invokes the mail syncer for INBOX, which detects no changes
Thus two syncs occur in this case instead of the single necessary sync.
Enhancements:
- Per-mailbox inter-sync delays were added to rarely sync high volume mailboxes and quickly sync important mailboxes.
- Inter-sync delays are allowed to be greater than the maximum error delay.
- mswatch now prints the names of pending mailboxes upon receiving SIGUSR1.

Log Watcher is a tool for log watching and colorize.
Installation:
The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation.
It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package. It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.
If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.
If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.
There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- manual typos
- change defaults in config file
- minor changes needed to build on OpenBSD
- fixed lwatch crashes for some spurious configuration

popcheck is a SuperKaramba theme that displayes the most recent 20 e-mails received at a POP account that are still awaiting download.

Queries the POP server once per minute and as new e-mails as they arrive.

The sender and the title are displayed.

You must configure the hostname and username/password info in the popcheck.py file.

You can include a list of substrings, such that if one of them is found in a new mail, an audible alert will sound. This allows you to know when new mail from particular people has arived.

The default alert sound is the word "MAIL" in Morse code. You can change this in the popcheck.py file by pointing to a different alert_file, or by replacing the included mail.ogg file with a different sound.

Clicking on an e-mail will cause popcheck to download the beginning of the file and display it in a kdialog message box. This way you can look at the start of an e-mail (up to 30 lines) without opening your e-mail client to download the message.

TimeRER is a widget for Superkaramba desktop which gives the RERs next time stop for a station.

This program works at present for RER As network in Paris and its area. It was successfull tested with SUSE 9.x 10.X and Mandriva 2006.

WMeyes is a pretty simple application: it sits in the WindowMaker dock, and a pair of eyes track your cursor.
Actually, the program should work in all window managers, but then you dont have a dock to sit it in, in which case you might as well use xeyes.
Enhancements:
- I added changes based upon a patch I found at http://www.shiratori.riec.tohoku.ac.jp/~jir/linux/products/wmeyes/index-e.html which allows one to click upon the eyes and run a program.
- Your command will be fed directly to the shell, so that you can use shell metacharacters or what have you, although you will probably need to escape them. Note that wmeyes does not automatically background the program, so you will probably want to background it yourself.
For example:
# run an xmag whenever the eyes are clicked on
wmeyes -w -e xmag &
# show the number of lines with the word "foo" in them in your mail spool
wmeyes -e xmessage `grep -w foo $MAIL | wc -l` &
# make wmeyes stop working until you have finished with a shell
wmeyes -e xterm
# my personal favorite: make the screen blank when the eyes are clicked on
wmeyes -e xset dpms force off
I also added support for multiple displays at once. Use -d, -display, or --display as many times as you like.

WMMenu project provide a popup menu of icons for WindowMaker like in AfterStep, as a dockable application. It is not as powerful as there is only one menu level, but I think it is sufficient, since you can make multiple separate menus.

The program can be run more than once at the same time, which allows as much different menus, each one described in a separate file. The description simply consists in a suite of lines containing the pixmap name and the shell command to run, with the first line giving the dock image and the menus title (will be used later). The menu automatically pops up to the right or left depending on the on-screen position.

Why:

More functional to organize program launchers when you have lots, rather than pile them around the screen like we can see on some screenshots... (I conceive its less appealing).

Usage:

wmmenu [< options >...]

-h
show help message
-m MENUNAME (mandatory)
set the name of the menu file to load from ~/.wmmenu
-g WxH
set width and height of tile
-t XPMFILE
set the pixmap used as tile
-l XPMFILE
set the pixmap used as highlight to track pointer
-O oldleaving
use old behavior for hiding the button bar: hide only when
leaving the bar, not when leaving the tile.
-O click
activate the button bar only when clicking on the tile, not
when the mouse moves in and out.
-O noautoscale
disable automatic scaling of pixmaps, that makes them fit
inside specified tile size.
-O behind
draw highlight pixmap behind icon, not above.
-O hide=N
set the time delay necessary for the bar to close after the
cursor has left wmmenu. N is specified as a strictly positive
integer in milliseconds. 1 is used by default.
-r ROWS
arrange icons in the bar on multiple rows (specified as the
number ROWS). The default is one. Icons are arranged leftmost
from upper left corner.
