mgrmsgs(1L)

NAME
mgrmsgs - message arrival notification

SYNOPSIS
mgrmsgs [ -s ] [ -x<pos> ] [ -y<pos> ] [ -f<font> ] [ -p<poll> ]

DESCRIPTION
Mgrmsgs looks for, and announces the arrival of new msgs. When initially invoked, mgrmsgs shrinks its window to the single line displaying the number of pending messages. When new messages arrive, mgrmsgs rings the bell, and updates the current message count. If the mgrmsgs window is activated when messages are pending, usually by clicking on it with the mouse, It changes to a larger window with msgs running in it.

While in the msgs window, the middle mouse button activates a menu of commonly used msgs commands.

Mgrmsgs recognizes the following command line flags:

-s  Don't reshape the window upon mgrmsgs invocation.

-x<pos>
    Starting x-coordinate of msgs window.

-y<pos>
    Starting y-coordinate of msgs window.

-f<font_number>
    Font to use for msgs window.

-p<poll interval>
    Look for new messages every poll interval seconds (defaults to 60).
