I left out part of my inquiry in the last post to the list..sorry. :-) When I do something like this:
macro index <F2> "!echo 'Checking mail..';~/bin/getmail\n" "Check for new mail" macro pager <F2> "!echo 'Checking mail..';~/bin/getmail\n" "Check for new mail" where getmail's contents are: #!/bin/sh if [ -f /var/lock/LCK..ttyS1 ]; then if [ ! -f ~/.fetchmail.pid ]; then fetchmail -s fi fi .. I get the expected output, "Checking mail..," but when it's done I get the "Press any key to continue..." -- which I get for any shell commands I run. Is there any way to only do that if there is an error? -- -Brian Clark
