Here's a 'SCP-POP' script I wrote a couple of weeks ago, if anyone care... :)
----- s n i p -----
#!/bin/sh
USER="turbo"
MAIL="/var/spool/mail/turbo"
SERV="master.debian.org"
case "$1" in
-f)
# Check who we got mail from, on the server...
ssh -x $SERV "from"
;;
-c)
# Check if we have mail or not...
DONE=`finger $USER@$SERV | grep -e 'New mail' -e 'Mail last'`
if [ "$DONE" != "" ]
then
echo "You got mail..."
else
echo "No mail..."
fi
;;
*)
# DONE=`finger $USER@$SERV | grep -e 'New mail' -e 'Mail last'`
# if [ "$DONE" != "" ]
# then
echo -n "Packing mail..."
ssh -x $SERV "rm ~/inbox*; /usr/bin/lockfile -ml $MAIL"
ssh -x $SERV "cat $MAIL > ~/inbox; echo -n > $MAIL ''"
ssh -x $SERV "/usr/bin/lockfile -mu $MAIL; gzip ~/inbox" 2>/dev/null
echo "done."
echo -n "Transfering mail..."
scp $SERV:~/inbox.gz ~/inbox.gz
echo "done."
echo -n "Adding mail to mailbox..."
zcat ~/inbox.gz >> ~/Mailbox
rm ~/inbox.gz
echo "done."
# else
# echo "No mail..."
# fi
;;
esac
exit 0
