away is a simple program that locks your terminal, checks for new mail
in any given number of mailboxes, and lets other users know why
you are inactive.
OPTIONS
"-c,
Enable checking of mail.
"-C,
Disable checking of mail.
"-f,
Specify an alternative configuration file instead of the default
~/.awayrc file.
"-F,
Ignore user configuration file.
"-h,
Display help.
"-m,
Execute as the remainder of the command line, effectively stripping
off the executable name and additional switches.
"-p,
Continue checking for new mail as long as there is at least one mailbox
that has not received new mail.
"-P,
Stop checking mail if any mailbox is found to have new mail.

Set the number of second that away sleeps before performing its
background tasks. Presently, the only background task that away will
perform is the checking of mailboxes.

Ignore any options to set the time interval and use the default number
of seconds.

Display version information.
