Hi, I want to start fetchmail when I connect to my ISP using xisp. I made a script containing:
#! /bin/sh fetchmail -f /home/cdysthe/.fetchmailrc I also made a more "complete" script using: #1 /bin/sh if [ -x /usr/bin/fetchmail ] then /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /home/cdysthe/.fetchmailrc fi exit 0 Both works fine when I execute them "manually" (by typing in the name in a terminal window, or click on it in mc). However, if I put it in /etc/ip-up.d they do not work as intended: I can see the fetchamil process start as soon as I am connected, but fetchmail won't collect mail in this case. It just hangs there inactive. Another strange thing is that it works and collects mail if I add the line: "fetchmail -f /home/cdysthe/.fetchmailrc" to the xisp script in /etc/ip-up.d Can anyone help me out here, please? (I am still a newbie trying to learn:) TIA ----------------------------------- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Date: 13-Apr-99 Time: 10:48:27 This message was sent by XFmail Powered by Debian GNU/Linux -----------------------------------
