6.9. How do I use Netscape Mail with KBiff?

You tried 'netscape -mail', didn't you? You then discovered that this caused Netscape to complain about a lockfile if it was already running, right? Well, here's a workaround from KBiff user Steven Boger (sboger@marcus-online.net) Create a shell script like so: #!/bin/sh
   1 if [ -L "$HOME/.netscape/lock" ]; 
   2 then 
   3 netscape -remote 'xfeDoCommand(openInbox)' 
   4 else 
   5 netscape -mail & 
   6 fi
