MailWatch [ ARexx ]

ARexx

From v3.1a, MailWatch has an ARexx port. The name of the port is MailWatch. It's a simple little beast at the moment, and it only understands a few commands...

Command Template Description

ADD ALIAS/A This command (given in the form, f.ex., Add MailListIcon) will enable the icons for any file which has the same alias as the one given as the parameter to this command. It reverses the effect of the REMOVE command, below.

REMOVE ALIAS/A This command (given in the form, f.ex., Remove MailListIcon) will disable the icons for any file which has the same alias as the one given as the parameter to this command. It reverses the effect of the ADD command, above.

CHECK ALIAS/A Force MailWatch to check the file, as if the program had been notified of a change in the file's size.

CHANGE STATE/A Where STATE is one of NONE, OLD or NEW, this command forces MailWatch to behave as if the file has changed such that the appropriate state is invoked (i.e. icon is updated and action executed).

DISABLE This will do the same as a Commodities Exchange 'Inactive' command; MailWatch will hide its icons and temporarily stop watching the files.

ENABLE This, of course, reverses the effect of the above command. It is the same as using the Commodities Exchange to issue an 'Active' command.

QUIT Closes the program down.
