UUCP Monitor
------------
This is a small background only application that serves as a means of
monitoring a UUCP in-file (or other mail inbox). It runs in the
background and posts a notification (sound and flashing icon in apple
menu) when the file it is monitoring has mail in it (ie the data fork
is bigger than zero bytes). The notification is removed once the
mail has been retrieved (ie file is zero bytes). I use it to notify
users that they have mail waiting in their Eudora inbox which is
located on a remote server.
Background Only Applications
----------------------------
Background only applications are normal applications in every way
except that they have no user interface. You can not see them in the
applications menu or the 'About this Macintosh' dialog. Once lauched
they will continue to run until the Macintosh is restarted or the
application receives a 'quit' AppleEvent. Because of a bug in the
Finder, even after the application has quit the icon for the
application will still be 'greyed out'. This does not necessarily
mean that the application is still running.
Settings
-----------
Since this is a background only application there is no easy means to
set its preferences. It will have to be modified via ResEdit. The
only setting at this point is the path of the file it should modify.
Change STR# 256 to the full path name of the file that should be
monitored.
You can also change the icon and the sound that are displayed/played
when mail comes in. Replace SICN 256 and/or snd 256 with your own.
Keep in mind though that if you use a larger snd you may need to
increase the memory allocation of the application. It need
approximately 10-15k of RAM plus the amount of the snd resource.
