[SOLVED] Need help to run Multiple Commands on Mail Watcher

ABOhiccups · 2017-10-01 05:19:29

I want to use both notify-send and espeak in "Run on new messages:" on Mail Watcher Plugin at the same time.

I did try notify-send "New mail" "You have new messages in your inbox" -i xfce-newmail & espeak "You got mail!". But nothing happen. The "&" works in Terminal but not in Mail Watcher.

Can anyone help me?

Please edit your post and remove the redundant plea for help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ow_to_post

`&` backgrounds commands in the shell, it doesn't chain them if the previous one succeeded, that is `&&`.

Moving to NC...

I did try "&&" it does not work in Mail Watcher. Only works in Terminal.

"||" don't work in Mail Watcher too.

The only way to run multiple commands in Mail Watcher.

I have to create a Bash Script for this to work.

#!/bin/sh
notify-send "New mail" "You have new messages in your inbox" -i xfce-newmail
espeak "You got mail!"
