DavmailCtrl
Author: Nikolaos Bestas <nikolaos.bestas@siemens.com>

DavmailCtrl is a script that controls the amazing Davmail ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/davmail )

Prerequisites:
- For install, update and status
-- wget is used to download the latest davmail version. It is also used to check the latest davmail version.
-- Internet connectivity.
- For start, stop and restart there are no prerequisites, assuming you use bash



To  use it:
- download it
- make it executable ( chmod +x DavmailCtrl )
- configure it (see bellow)
- invoke it with the desired argument "start" "stop" "restart" "status" "install" "update" ( e.g. ./DavmailCtrl install )


Configuration:

The configuration is controlled by the following variables:
DavCfgDir=$HOME/.config/davmail
DavConfig1=davmail.properties.1
DavConfig2=davmail.properties.2
That are used by the function StartDavSeq
If you run the program like without changing the default configuration the following will occur:
- The directory $HOME/.config/davmail will be created
- Davmail will start 2 instances each using the respective configuration file.
---- If those files do not exist, they will be created with the default values. This will create collision of the listening ports.
---- You will have to adjust them.
- If you already have your own configuration file(s) you would like to use, simply set the DavCfgDir and DavConfig1 and DavConfig2 (DavConfig3 ... DavConfigx) to reflect your environement.
---- If you want to only have one instance, simply remove the second invokation of Davmail ( $DavStartCmd $DavCfgDir/$DavConfig2 &). You can also remove the DavConfig2 variable, but you don't have to.
---- If you want to have a third instance:
-------> add DavConfig3=my.davmail.properties.3 (like the other two variables)
-------> add a third call to davmail in the function StartDavSeq ( $DavStartCmd $DavCfgDir/$DavConfig3 &)

So far DavmailCtrl has been tested with only up to two instances, on an x86 PC.

Hope you enjoy the program as much as I enjoyed making it. :-)
