Hi,

I am running OTRS on my Ubuntu 8.04 machine, here's what I did (I get my updates every 5 minutes):

Open a terminal (alt+f2, type: xterm)

type: sudo su (enter your password)
type: crontab -e (it should pull up a commandline text editor (nano in my case))
assuming you installed it in /opt, enter the following:
---begin cut ---
*/5 * * * * /opt/otrs/bin/PostMasterMailbox.pl
--- end cut ---

to save it, press ctrl+O
to exit from nano ctrl+x

Hope that helps

Hi,

I am a both a linux and OTRS newbie so bear with me please. I have installed OTRS on Ubuntu and have begun configuring things. I have entered pop3 accounts for each queue for users to submit tickets too, only problem is I cannot figure out how to get OTRS to check the pop3 accounts automatically. From the postmaster mail account portion of the admin area I can click run now on each and the emails appear in the proper queue so I know they are configured correctly. I have read I need to set up a cron job to do this automatically but am lost. Any help or guidance on what to edit in the cron file would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

Matt
