  • Being boring

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Mon May 24 02:13:05 2021
    Hi everyone,

    So I got curious tonight and I wound up writing a little script that calls
    up XQodem, Meal-Master, and MultiMail at once on my desktop so I have everything I need to work with offline mail in one click. Pretty handy.
    This is what happens when I get bored and start poking around ... then think
    of something interesting to try.

    If anyone's interested, I can share how I did this. This is all under Slackware Linux but I'm pretty sure you can adapt it to any modern Linux distro.

    Later,
    Sean

    Isn't it as simple as having a script with a command chain?

    When I was first introduced to using *nix with a uVax, I took
    advantage of launching compilations in the background - a lot!
    ..since oly one terminal session (non GUI OS) was possible at
    the time.
