.se "Checking for New Notes"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The checknotes program
|
|
|
|
checks the notesfiles specified by the NFSEQ environment
|
|
|
|
variable to determine if there are new notes.
|
|
|
|
The exit code is arranged to make the program useful in shell scripts:
|
|
|
|
0 (TRUE) is there are new notes, 1 (FALSE) otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the ``-q'' option to receive a message
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are new notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if one or more of the notesfiles have notes/responses written since
|
|
|
|
the user's last entry time into that notesfile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``-n'' option is similar to the ``-q'' option, with the exception
|
|
|
|
that it yields output when there are no new notes. The output
|
|
|
|
of checknotes with the ``-n'' option is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are no new notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use ``-v'' to print the name of each notesfile with new
|
|
|
|
notes/responses.
|
|
|
|
The ``-s'' option is suitable for use in conditional
|
|
|
|
expressions in shell scripts; no output is generated by this option.
