Hi,
I have one question;
I`m using this mail-checker-script (found in this forum):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# checkmail_lin.pl

use strict;
use Net::POP3;
#use AppConfig qw(:expand :argcount);
my $prog_name = "Checkmail";
my $checkmailrc = "checkmailrc";
my $message = "";
my $image;
my $image_name;
#my $config = AppConfig->new(
# 'user' => { ARGCOUNT => 1 },
# 'pass' => { ARGCOUNT => 1 },
# 'host' => { ARGCOUNT => 1 }
#);
#$config->file($checkmailrc);
#my $user = $config->user();
#my $pass = $config->pass();
#my $host = $config->host();
my $user = "*****";
my $pass = "*****";
my $host = "******";
my $pop = Net::POP3->new( $host, Timeout => 120 );
if ( defined($pop) ) {
my $num = $pop->login( $user, $pass );
if ( !defined($num) ) {
$message = "Error";
}
elsif ( $num == 0) {
$message = "0 mail";
}
else {
$message = "$num mail";
}
$pop->quit();
}
else {
$message = "Erreur";
}
print $message . "\n";Now my question is if it`s possible to insert a command to get a sound-message? Maybe something like "if new mail is there then mplayer /path/to/file.ogg >/dev/null 2>&1 or anything elese?
I do not know anything about scripting and it would be great if anyone could tell me how it could be realized.
Thank you very much & Greetings
Edit:
Now I have changed my config and now Im using Brices Scripts from this Posting:
How to display email subjects in an fvwm menu
In Brices MailPopup function Ive added a line like this:
+ I Exec exec mplayer /home/slackman/mail.wav >/dev/null 2>&1 &Now the Popup ist starting with playing this file 
Greetings
