CheckGmail Problem With Google Hosted Domains

For some time now I have been using CheckGmail to monitor both my gmail.com accounts and my sivel.net accounts. But several months ago Google changed the way that accounts are authenticated for hosted domains.

If you are experiencing this problem I suggest downloading the most recent version of CheckGmail from the CheckGmail subversion trunk. For those of you who don’t have subversion installed or for those of you who don’t know how to use subversion there is any easy way around this.

Simply issue the following command:

sudo wget -O /usr/bin/checkgmail http://checkgmail.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/checkgmail/checkgmail

If you currently have CheckGmail running kill it and restart it. Now you will be able to monitor your hosted domain again with CheckGmail.

About Matt

IF YOU REALLY want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

In any case I am employed as a Senior Linux Systems Engineer at Rackspace in San Antonio, TX.

I spent the majority of my college years as an Astrophysics major specializing in black holes. When I got to my senior year and was studying 40 hours a week to stay on track I decided to bail and pursue an easier career.

I spend the majority of my time now contributing to WordPress, developing WordPress plugins, helping out in the WordPress IRC Channel, playing football (not American!), practicing Krav Maga, and last but not least, spending time with my Wife and Son.
