I'm running sid and I have followed the recommendation to run fetchmail as user "fetchmail". I am trying to come up with a shell command to wake up the fetchamil daemon and check my mail while I'm in Mutt.
I have added my username to /etc/sudoers like this: ddamian wayfarer = (fetchmail) NOPASSWD: ALL I can run any command as fetchmail with success (like sudo -u fetchmail ls) however, when I run sudo -u fetchmail fetchmail I get "fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified". I suspect that I am unable to read /etc/fetchmailrc. The permissions on it are: -rw------- 1 fetchmail root 251 Mar 8 21:16 /etc/fetchmailrc If I su from root to fetchmail and then run fetchmail it awakens the daemon just like it should. What should I do, please? Thanks a lot.
