biff/new mail - blink LED indicators on keyboard



Anyone know how I could have a cool LED animation when new mail arrives
(when I'm logged in or not)?  Something like a bouncing effect for the
first couple seconds and then have the scroll lock blink once every five
minutes or so...

I have a program called 'bl' that does make the keyboard lights blink, but
it only works if I'm logged on and I'm using the same tty as where it was
executed -- ie, "sleep 3; bl -c console" doesn't work when I switch to
another VC before sleep expires.. I don't know how it would work in X...

Anyone else tried this?

-Paul
