omnifetch - fetch mailbox status

CONTENTS

Synopsis
Description

omnifetch [-d] [<mailbox>]

omnifetch [-h, --help]

omnifetch [-v, --version]

Omnifetch is a command line tool that produces output similar to "fetchmail -c". The output will be of the format:

New Mail	1 new message on <mailbox> (at least)
No New Mail	no new mail on <mailbox>

Omnifetch is intended for use from shell scripts.

-d, --disable
	Suspend checking on this mailbox between omnifetch queries. This allows omnifetch to control the check interval for this mailbox, rather than OmniBiff.
<mailbox>
	The name of the mailbox to query. If not specified, omnifetch will use the first mailbox that OmniBiff is monitoring.

The exit codes are similar to that of "fetchmail -c":

0	New mail is available
1	No new mail is available
2	The email server could not be contacted
3	OmniBiff is not monitoring the specified mailbox
