NAME

wmheadlines - programs to do something

SYNOPSIS

wmheadlines [-proxy host port]
- enables use over a proxy [-n]
- prevents netscape from opening a new window for each headline [-frontpage top|bottom] - adds a persistant item for the $sitename frontpage. It can be placed at the top or bottom of the menu [-loud] - useful for debugging problems. Otherwise, the script exits quietly in the case of an error. [-24]
- display time in 24 format instead of 12 AM/PM [-dayfirst]
- display day before month (like 25-12-1999) in date. [-nodate]
- do not display 'last updated' date in menu title. [-noyear]
- do not display the year in the 'last updated' date [-proxyfix]
- proxy support not working? Try this. [-maxlength num]
- items will not be shown with more than [num] letters. [-nspath /path/to/netscape/executable]
- if your 'netscape' is not in the PATH used by Window Maker, you may specify the full pathname to the netscape executable here. [-forceupdate]
- force the menu file to be written even if the headlines have not changed. For example, a change in preference options will _NOT_ be visible without using this option. [-menufile /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.$scriptname] - if you want to store the menu somewhere other than ~/.$scriptname" . menu, specify the FULL pathname with this option. (Keep write permissions in mind...)
