Playing sound.

Playing sound.

[Tommy Moore]

Hey guys. You guys know of a way to have the system play you a sound when
new mail comes in?

Thanks.

Here is part of my .procmailrc:
:0 c
* ^To:.*mgorse
* !^To:.*,
|cat youvegotmail.au >/dev/audio

youvegotmail.au is a sound file that I downloaded a while ago from
sunsite's archive.  This way it only plays the sound when I get mail
addressed to me and not to anyone else (ie, not for messages from mailing
lists).

Or you could use biff, which will beep at you and give you a blurb on any
consoles where you have it set on.

I use Pine, and my system beeps everytime I get new mail. So, it's mapped
in somewhere.

I'm with you, though. I'd love to map it to a more distinctive sound, with
significantly enhanced aesthetic values.

Grabbing An Entire Website

[Janina Sajka]

Hi:

Anyone know how to auto-retrieve an entire www page hierarchy?

I know software like ncftp can and wuftp can tar up an entire directory
tree, but the pages I need aren't available over ftp, only http. I'd hate
to have them by hand one at a time, though.

You probably want to look into wget.  It can follow links to recursively
retrieve all documents referenced by an http URL (also does ftp, but you
specifically said your needs were http).  There are a lot of options (e.g.
maximum depth, spanning hosts, converting absolute links to relative ones
locally, etc.), so I suggest reading the man page and then asking more
specific questions if you have them.

Yours,
Xandy

wget

ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget

Use wget, it has special mirroring options specifically for such a task.

There are also other applications and perl modules for this task, but
generically wget is excellent.

I think that you can use wget for that.  Have not done it myself.

yup, wget -r www.foobar.com.  Of course that gets what a browser would
"see" not the source code behind dymanic pages, unless of course it's cold
fusion ;) If you want to get source code, for dynamic pages or something
else that would depend on the situation.
