Subject: Updated notification scripts
Reply-To: gbrown@ctr.columbia.edu

Here is a vastly improved version of the .notify script I uploaded to the list awhile ago.  Lots of people found it useful, the file is small, its function relates to the list, so I'm posting the upgrade. It is now much easier to configure and install.

Features:
 ·This script plays a user-specified sound when mail is received.
 ·The user can specify not to play sounds when
		* he is not logged in on the console.
 		* the mail is from a mailing list or uninteresting person
 ·Sounds play even when the user is not logged in, if desired.
 ·The user can specify an additional sound to play when the word 'urgent' 
		appears in first 40 lines of the message (assuming the message isn't 
		from a mailing list or person in the kill list)
 ·This script can also be used to control the 'vacation' program, allowing 
	the user to specify a list of people NOT to notify when you are 
	on vacation.  It is a matter of courtesy to add mailing lists to this
	list, since the people in the list don't care if you are on vacation.  Anyone 
	not in the kill list will be notified as usual with the vacation program.
·It's FREE!
