[SOLVED] Re: biff/new mail - blink LED indicators on keyboard

[Paul Miller <paul@3dillusion.com>]

In order to get it to work, I copied the bl program to my home directory
and made it suid to root (only I can access that directory).  Then, I made
a simple script to run bl and kill it after one minute..

--- newmail ---
#!/bin/sh

killall bl
~paul/bin/bl -S tty0
sleep 60
killall bl
--- eof ---


Thanks
-Paul
