Need washrag to remove egg on face. At the time I wrote it there was a
battle going on as some distro's use dcop, and some dbus. It appears
that in debian, dcop won that particular war, so thats what I'm using,
and its coded like this:
Method=dcop
if [[ ${Method} = 'dbus' ]]
then
Cmd="/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail org.kde.kmail.kmail.checkMail"
fi
if [[ ${Method} = 'dcop' ]]
then
#or for dcop, use:
Cmd="/opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface checkMail"
fi
[... skip some other alternative hpusekeeping options]
if test "${InMail}" = "gene"
then
$Cmd
[...]
So thats the extent of my dcop training. The manpage for dcop is so
incomplete its worthless. Hardly a full screenfull of very generalized
info.
What dcop can do for|to kmail should be in the kmail handbook, but there
seems to not even be the word dcop. Where can I access what will fix
that lack?

But no one has answered my question about how do I move a directory's
contents en-mass to another directory by way of a dbus command. I need
to move the contents of the spam directory by first deleting the
contents of the spam-hold directory, and the move the contents of the
spam directory into the spam-hold directory, a thing that is repeated
each 24 hours by the script that drives sa-learn spam, and sa-learn
ham over selected directory's.
I had to pull teeth w/o novocain just to find out how to send kmail a
go get mail command from my mailwatcher script, which uses inotifywait
to see the closing of a mailfile in /var/spool/mail as its indicator
that a new mail has arrived from a separate fetchmail->procmail
process.
If those rm's and mv's from outside of kmails knowledge, were
converted to dbus commands to be executed by kmail, then nothing would
disturb its database but kmails own actions.
So, where do I find the real docs on how kmail responds to commands
sent over dbus? That seems to be a secret, and it sucks dead toads
thru soda straws. I just now rechecked the Handbook, and it has zero
mention of dbus. So please explain how, and I WILL fix my scripts. 3 hours later its behaving itself. Nothing from
kmail is now
anywhere near the top of an htop list. cpu temps are down about
8C. I think I've fixed it!
Gene, it is what I said before - you should never ever mess up with
the Maildir content, except via a single interface, be it imap, or
kmail. Let only one application work at a time.
