Aside: As I think I've mentioned before, I need a `folder -pack
31415-last' to avoid much churn on incremental backups
Your backups aren't done by inode?
refile @tmp "$@" </dev/null && # Assumes "yes" to "create folder".
refile -src @tmp all @. &&
rmf @. | (egrep -v '^\[\+inbox now current\]'; exit 0)
A partial-packing folder(1) that only had the given message number
ranges to play with would need less lock-time.
It's important to point out that there are definitely nmh commands you can't
run simultaneously. e.g., if you ran "folder -pack" at the same time as
sortm, all sorts of bad things would happen. Same thing with refile and
inc. It looks like folder_pack() is a library function, and I suppose
in theory it would be possible to what you want, but I'm personally
reluctant to fiddle with it.
