Well, that's what I tried; I typed that in the script: ----- start script ----- #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc -a -u a4608456 /usr/sbin/sendmail -q echo Done! ----- end script ----- but didn't work. I even tried enclosing in quotes to no success. Just now I'm thinking of having it in a script of its own, alphabetically sorted so that it's ran after the above script (that might work). ~> If you want a window to pop up, you might use xmessage from the xcontrib ~> package: ... that's beyond my expectations for now, thank you very much.
