-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Installation is as simple as it could be. Just create the directory
/usr/local/gotmail and copy all files to it. Ready.
If you decide to choose an other directory to copy the files to, don't forget
to change the path in the scripts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GetMail starts with: getmail <option>
options:
clear - stops fetchmail and kills the logfile
fetch - starts fetchmail
got - starts gotmail
goth - starts gotmail html
send - sends all mail from the mailqueue
status - tails the logfile
start - starts fetchmail and tails the logfile
stop - stops fetchmail
-v - prints GetMails version number
GotMail can be startet without any parameters. It then prints a statistic
on the console. The only parameters so far are:
html - prints the output to an html file specified in gotmail.conf
-v - prints GotMails version number
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GotMail is configured by a file named gotmail.conf either in the user's home
dir, in /etc or in /usr/local/gotmail. gotmail.conf itself is a shell script.
It just exports some variables to the environment. So it's syntax is like this:
export <OPTION>=<VALUE>
Remember not to put spaces between <OPTION>=<VALUE> !!

GOTM_ERR yes|no print error messages?
