.SH NAME
wmckgmail 1.1 \- A dockapp to monitor the number of unread mails in a gmail inbox.
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B wmckgmail
command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBwmckgmail\fP is a very simple program used to monitor the number of unread mails 
in a gmail inbox. It uses the 
.B wget
command to get the gmail
.B atom
feed and reads the number of new mails from this feed. It is a dockapp 
that is supported by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, Fluxbox and
Enlightenment.

.TP
This dockapp is quite simple. It contains the gmail \fBM\fP icon and a small counter. When the program is unable to access gmail, the counter shows the "\fBERR\fP" string and the \fBM\fP icon is greyed. When gmail is accessible and your configuration file contain a valid username/password combo, the counter indicate the number of new mails in the gmail inbox. If there is no unread mails in the gmail inbox, the \fBM\fP icon stays greyed. If there is unread mails in the gmail inbox, the \fBM\fP icon then takes its real colors and the counter indicates the number of unread mails.

.SH OPTIONS
This program has no command line options.

.TP
There is also optional parameters:

.TP

Used to define the interval between each verification of new incoming mails. If you do not define this parameter, it will be set to a defauolt value of 300 seconds (5 minutes).
.TP
.B browsercmd1 <command to launch when clicking on the 'big M'>
Used to define the command to launch when clicking on the 'big M'. Example configuration line:

browsercmd1 mozilla -remote "openURL(http://www.gmail.com)"

.TP
.B browsercmd2 <command to launch when clicking on the 'big M' if 'browsercmd1' failed>
Used to define the command to launch when clicking on the 'big M' if the execution of 'browsercmd1' failed (return value != 0). Example configuration line :

browsercmd2 mozilla http://www.gmail.com &

.TP
.B -- WARNINGS --
- It is very recommended to set the configuration file permissions to "600" or "400" as your mailbox password is clearly written in this file.

- When defining 'browsercmd1' or 'browsercmd2', verify if the command you launch returns immediately to the shell or not. If the command does NOT returns to the shell, you have to put an ampersand (&) to launch the command in background like in the 'browsercmd2' example configuration line.
