134 logjam \- GTK+ client for LiveJournal
136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \&\fBlogjam\fR [\fI\s-1OPTIONS\s0\fR] [\fI\s-1FILE\s0\fR]
139 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
140 \&\fBlogjam\fR is a \s-1GTK+\s0 client for LiveJournal-based sites
141 such as livejournal.com.
143 Aside from writing entries, logjam lets you modify your
144 friends list, edit your previous entries, and more.
146 When run with no arguments (or just username option),
147 logjam will run in the \s-1GUI\s0 mode.
148 The user interface is mostly self\-explanatory, and won't be
149 discussed here in detail, except for a few notes below.
150 .SH "OPTIONS AND COMMANDS"
151 .IX Header "OPTIONS AND COMMANDS"
152 Options can be given in either short or long forms. For help on a
153 particular commands, type "\fBlogjam\fR \s-1COMMAND\s0 help\*(L". For example,
154 \&\*(R"\fBlogjam\fR grep help" will supply help about the grep command.

166 Password for the current user.
167 \fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-postas\fR=\fI\s-1USERNAME\s0\fR
168 User/community to post as.
170 \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-file\fR=\fI\s-1FILE\s0\fR
172 \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-edit\fR
173 Use default editor to edit post.
176 \fBcheckfriends\fR Efficiently check friends list for updates.
177 \fBconsole\fR Run a command on the LiveJournal console.
178 \fBpost\fR Post event immediately.
179 \fBoffline\fR Manage offline copies of your journal.
180 \fBuser\fR Manage user list.
183 Also, \s-1GTK+\s0 command line options (such as \-\-display) can be used.
186 This section describes some of the \s-1GUI\s0 features that aren't immediately
189 .IX Subsection "Check Friends"
190 logjam can monitor your friends list and notify you when new entries
191 are posted there. Enable this by right-clicking on the indicator at
192 the bottom-left corner of the application window and selecting the
193 appropriate menu item. You may also configure logjam to start doing this
194 automatically for you when you login. When new entries are detected, the
195 indicator will turn red to let you know; click it to resume monitoring or
196 double-click it to open your browser on your friends page. Optionally,
197 you can have logjam open a small \*(L"floating\*(R" indicator which has some
198 useful \s-1GUI\s0 settings of its own.
200 Owners of large friends lists may prefer to be notified only after they
201 accumulate several new posts. You may set the threshold for this in the
202 Check Friends settings tab. The default is 1, that is, logjam will tell
203 you immediately when it detects new traffic on your friends page. There
204 is a small limit on the maximum threshold allowed, because this feature
205 is only useful with small threshold values.
208 When given a \fI\s-1FILE\s0\fR argument, logjam will start up with an existing
209 file as the base for the composed entry. If the filename given is \*(L"\-\*(R",
210 the data will be read from standard input. Several aspects of the entry,
211 such as its subject field and the journal in which to post it to, can
212 be controlled by other options. This is useful in conjunction with the
213 \&\fB\-\-commandline\fR option, which causes logjam to post an entry without
214 going to \s-1GUI\s0 mode, allowing completely non-interactive posts. If you do
215 wish to interactively edit the entry, but don't want to load the \s-1GUI\s0,
216 use the \fB\-\-edit\fR option.
218 .IX Subsection "Autosave"
219 logjam will periodically save a draft of your currently edited entry
220 in ~/.logjam/draft if you turn on the draft option in the Preferences
221 dialog. This feature is intended for crash recovery, not archiving. If
222 you want to keep a copy of your posts, you should use the
223 Entry\ >\ Save\ As menu option before submitting them. A future
224 version of logjam will support archiving of your journal.
226 Please note that when you exit the client normally, your draft is
227 cleared. It does not \*(L"stick\*(R" for the next invocation, as in the behavior
228 of some other clients.
229 .Sh "Checking friends from the command line"
230 .IX Subsection "Checking friends from the command line"
231 You can use logjam as a backend for a script or another application
232 that wishes to check the friends view. This may be useful if you
233 don't want to use the \s-1GUI\s0, or if you have several journals (in
234 conjunction with \fB\-\-username\fR). To do this, invoke logjam once with
235 \&\fB\-\-checkfriends=purge\fR (\fB\-rpurge\fR if you're using short options),
236 and then something like:
239 \& logjam \-\-checkfriends && new\-entries\-handler
242 Make sure that your script or application purges the checkfriends
243 status as described above once the user has acknowledged the new items,
244 otherwise logjam will always report there's nothing new. You should also
245 pay attention to limiting your query rate, despite the fact that logjam
246 will refuse to flood the server with queries. For more information,
247 see the messages on the command line. (To suppress these messages,
248 use \fB\-\-quiet\fR.)
