# 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
