Package: fetchmail Version: 6.3.9~rc2-4 Severity: wishlist
When using fetchmail in a cron job to fetch mail regularly (because daemon mode is still not reliable, and yes, I've reported it and tried and failed to help fix it), it's annoying that "no mail", which is a perfectly normal condition, returns an error code, as it means I have to write a wrapper script (or a very long cron job line!) to differentiate between that and a "real" error. Hence, an option to return exit code 0 in the case where there is no new mail would be most handy. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fetchmail depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.3-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny1 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages fetchmail recommends: ii ca-certificates 20080809 Common CA certificates Versions of packages fetchmail suggests: pn fetchmailconf <none> (no description available) ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport ag ii resolvconf 1.42 name server information handler -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
