[fetchmail]Getting feedback in daemon mode

2002-02-12 06:01:47
Hi.
I've searched through all the documents I could reach but I
haven't been able to find the info needed.
I'm running a single user Slackware 8 (no local mail server)
and I use fetchmail+procmail to handle my mail. fetchmail
is run every 180 seconds (fetcmail -d 180).
I would like fetchmail to play a sound whenever it polls my
mailbox and finds any new messages. Without the -d flag it
would be easy (return status may help), but in daemon mode
I have no means to know the result of the last poll.
fetchmail -vv -d 180 doesn't show any information either.
I don't want to use any other program than fetchmail&procmail.
No other daemons, no local mail servers, no biffs, no cron-jobs.
Anybody knows a pure fetchmail solution to this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards

AS
