countmail — be
obnoxious about how much mail you have
countmail |
The countmail program counts your mail and
tells you about it rather obnoxiously.
The countmail program first appeared in
NetBSD 1.3. countmail was
first written by Noah Friedman
⟨friedman@splode.com⟩ in 1993. This version was written by
Charles M. Hannum ⟨mycroft@NetBSD.org⟩.
The read loop is horrendously slow on every shell implementation
tried. countmail uses from(1) and
wc(1) instead, though these are not shell builtins.
