LINPOPUP(1) LinPopUp User's Manual LINPOPUP(1)
NAME
LinPopUp - A Linux port of Winpopup, running over Samba.
SYNOPSIS
linpopup [ -min ] [ -info ]
DESCRIPTION
LinPopUp is a Xwindow port of Winpopup, running over
Samba. It permits to communicate with a Windows computer
that runs Winpopup, sending or receiving message. (It also
provides an alternative way to communicate between Linux
computers that run Samba).
OPTIONS
-min Will start LinPopUp minimized. LinPopUp will
maximize itself each time a new message arrives.
This feature was specially implemented to
automatically start LinPopUp via .Xclient or
.xinitrc file.
-info LinPopUp will give some useful information about
system configuration and immediately exits. Use it
if something goes wrong or/and when reporting a
bug.
FILES
/var/lib/linpopup/messages.dat
Where message are kept.
~/.linpopuprc
Configuration file, where the preferences are stored. Not
an ASCII file, so don't try to edit it.
~.linpopup.history History file where are kept last used
send address. Will be automatically created/updated.
INSTALLATION
To be able to receive messages that are sent to you, you
will need to edit the smb.conf file (generally found in
/etc directory) and to add this line to the [global
settings] section :
message command = /usr/local/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm
%s
PLEASE NOTE that "%f" is not the same thing as %f , '%f'
or `%f`. If you enter a wrong message command, you will
probably not receive some (only a few in fact) of the
messages that are sent to you.
RESTRICTIONS
Running LinPopUp with three arguments may give
imprevisible results. Only Samba can run it this way via
14/Mar/2000 LinPopUp Version 1.2.0 1
LINPOPUP(1) LinPopUp User's Manual LINPOPUP(1)
the message command.
NOTES
Receiving message :
LinPopUp doesn't need to always run. If you close it, it
will continues to receive all messages that are send to
you. You can even quit Xwindow, and still receive
messages. In fact, the only way to miss a message that was
sent to you is to have your computer turned off.
Message management :
Messages are kept from session to session. You will always
retrieve a message that was sent to you, ... if you have
not deleted it.
More help :
You will obtain more information about using and
configuring LinPopUp by running it under Xwindow and
looking at the Help menu.
Requirements :
Samba as well as the Gimp ToolKit GTK+ >= 1.2.0 are
required.
BUGS
None known, ... that I was able to reproduce ;-)
