Point is, the best I can do, is fire it off from rc.local, & have it sleep
for 300 seconds, so I have time after logging in to get kmail going. It
uses d-bus, and if kmail is not there to flush the d-bus message, all I can
do is a killall mailwatcher (my launching script) and killall inotifywait,
then restart mailwatcher. It will time out in 5 minutes and start a new
inotifywait instance, and then I'm off to the races. If kmail had a
facility to start this background task as one of the final things it does
when it is launched, then a lot of this folderol could just go away.
hmm, maybe it does, I just had a brain fart of an idea. Worth checking on
at any rate. I'll advise if it works... ;)
Thanks Duncan.
