Script to turn on/off device if unread mail (gmail)

Post by eirikh »

Got a gmail account? Here is a simple script to turn on/off a device if you have unread email:

Replace "5" with your device id .. :)

checkEmail.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
RET=`curl -u username@gmail.com:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | perl -ne 'print "1" if /<(fullcount)>[^0]<\/\1>/;'`

if [ $RET == "1" ] ; then
 tdtool --on 5
else
 tdtool --off 5
fi
crontab:

Code: Select all

*/4 * * * * ~/checkEmail.sh &> /dev/null
(check every 4 minutes)
