Hi all,
I decided to set up leafnode for reading mail with slrn. I have
everyhting set up okay, AFAIK.
I guess leafnode runs from cron.daily, but I want to pull down new
messages more frequently. I created the following file in cron.d:
# /etc/cron.d/leafnode: crontab fragment for leafnode
# Run queue every 30 minutes
15,45 * * * * news /usr/sbin/fetchnews
I'm not up to snuff on writing these, so I copied the file for exim
and edited it by refering to the man page for crontab(5).
The problem is, it never gets my new mail.
I can pull mail by running fetchnews by hand. I even got a message
from anacron saying:
lockfile /var/lock/news/fetchnews.lck exists, abort ...
This lead me to believe that it would work. However, a couple hours
have gone by, and I have yet to pull any new news messages.
Am I doing this wrong? If so, can someone shed some light on this for
me?
Thanks in advance...
