Away
-------------
Version 0.9.5
Away is a terminal locking program with the additional ability to
check user-defined mailboxes for new mail.
Background
----------
Also, like many people (I assume), I always use the `w` command to
see what people are doing on a server. I often need to talk with
someone online, and it drives me bonkers to see them online but
idle for two+ hours. Then I'm stuck with the decision of "should I
wait a few minutes and see if they do something?" or "should I just
email them since I know they won't be back for another two hours?"
Well, to combat this problem, I started this project. My primary
goal with writing Away was very simple: write a program to take
the place of "-bash" (or whatever shell you hold dear to your
heart) in the `w` command's "WHAT" column. Since that time, Away
has been transformed into a pretty nice terminal locking program.
