...as it shouldn't. It should say "fetchmail already running" and not do anything else if fetchmail is running. If he wanted it to restart every time, he should change the "start" to "restart" (but it that case it wouldn't make sense to run fetchmail as a daemon). I don't know how the start-stop-daemon stuff works, but I'd guess it's erroneously detecting a running fetchmail process (because of a leftover pid file perhaps?) so it won't ever start fetchmail. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
