- .se "Checking for New Notes"
-
- The checknotes program
- checks the notesfiles specified by the NFSEQ environment
- variable to determine if there are new notes.
- The exit code is arranged to make the program useful in shell scripts:
- 0 (TRUE) is there are new notes, 1 (FALSE) otherwise.
-
- Use the ``-q'' option to receive a message
-
- There are new notes
-
- if one or more of the notesfiles have notes/responses written since
- the user's last entry time into that notesfile.
-
- The ``-n'' option is similar to the ``-q'' option, with the exception
- that it yields output when there are no new notes. The output
- of checknotes with the ``-n'' option is:
-
- There are no new notes
-
- Use ``-v'' to print the name of each notesfile with new
- notes/responses.
- The ``-s'' option is suitable for use in conditional
- expressions in shell scripts; no output is generated by this option.
