After some time spent on Google to find a solution, somebody in #mutt told me to have a look at the status_format option in which we can call an external script ...

The relevant part of the ~/.ratpoisonrc :

set status_format="/usr/local/bin/notify.sh '%r %f (%L) [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?]'|"

/usr/local/bin/notify.sh (quick 'n dirty but it works!) :

#!/bin/bash
#
# Small script which display a message in ratpoison 
# when new incoming mail
#

echo "$1" | grep -q "New" > /dev/null 2>&1

if [ $? -eq 0 ];
then
  ratpoison -c "echo Unread mail in Inbox"
fi

echo "$1"

Some times ago I've described a quick solution to setup two-factor authentication with OpenSSH & Yubikey. I've made a clean Perl rewrite of the script with new features.

Working features :

• Config file in INI format
• Multiple Yubikeys support for each user
• "Whitelist" : you can define IP (or networks using CIDR notation) for clients which doesn't need to provide OTP.
• HMAC verification
• Error logging

Planned features :

• Integration of PreludeEasy to report authentication failures to your Prelude SIEM manager.

Available from my Git repository.

Here is a solution based on a custom perl script to improve the integration of your web browser inside Ratpoison.

Ratpoison is a keyboard driven window manager.
I've written a small perl script designed to be called via standard Ratpoison bind functions to interact with Midori (can be easily used with other web browsers). Here are the default binds :

• :gg : search for in google.com
• :dp : load packages.debian.org page of
• :db : load bugs.debian.org page of
• :wi : search for in Wikipedia

There is also a shortcut (actually bind to escape-g) which send the current selection to the browser, if the selection is an URL, load it into the browser, otherwise search for string in Google.

Relevant part of my ~/.ratpoisonrc :

# Browser Wrapper
bind g exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl selection `$RATPOISON -c getsel`
alias gg exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl gg
alias dp exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl dp
alias db exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl db
alias wi exec ~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl wi

~/bin/browser_wrapper.pl :

#!/usr/bin/perl

{
  my $shortcut = $ARGV[0] || 'gg';
  my $browser = "/usr/bin/midori";
  my $request = undef;
  my $url = undef;

  foreach $argnum ( 1 .. $#ARGV ) {
    $request .= $ARGV[$argnum].'%20';
  }

  $request =~ s/\%20$//;

  my $shortcuts_table = {
    'gg' => sub {
              $url = "http://www.google.fr/search?q=" . $request;
              system( $browser . " " . $url );
            },

    'dp' => sub {
              $url = "http://packages.debian.org/" . $request;
              system( $browser . " " . $url );
            },

    'db' => sub {
              $url = "http://bugs.debian.org/" . $request;
              system( $browser . " " . $url );
            },

    'wi' => sub {
              $url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" . $request;
              system( $browser . " " . $url );
            },

    'selection' => sub {
              if ( $request =~ m/^http:\/\/.*/ ) {
                $url = $request;
              } else {
                $url = "http://www.google.fr/search?q=" . $request;
              }
              system( $browser . " " . $url );
            }
  };

  $shortcuts_table->{$shortcut} ? $shortcuts_table->{$shortcut}->() : $shortcuts_table->{'gg'}->();
}
0;

More a reminder than a real post, here's how to display HTML emails inside Mutt using w3m.

Put the following line into ~/.mailcap :

text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput

And just append :

auto_view text/html

in ~/.mutt/muttrc
