Need washrag to remove egg on face. At the time I wrote it there was a battle going on as some distro's use dcop, and some dbus. It appears that in debian, dcop won that particular war, so thats what I'm using, and its coded like this: Method=dcop if [[ ${Method} = 'dbus' ]] then Cmd="/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail org.kde.kmail.kmail.checkMail" fi if [[ ${Method} = 'dcop' ]] then #or for dcop, use: Cmd="/opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface checkMail" fi [... skip some other alternative hpusekeeping options] if test "${InMail}" = "gene" then $Cmd [...] So thats the extent of my dcop training. The manpage for dcop is so incomplete its worthless. Hardly a full screenfull of very generalized info. What dcop can do for|to kmail should be in the kmail handbook, but there seems to not even be the word dcop.
