Instead, run fetchmail in daemon mode triggered from a cron job. That is, create a cron job that starts fetchmail in daemon mode once a day or several times a day to make sure that after a reboot your user's fetchmail daemon will be started again. For that cron job, feel free to redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null. In daemon mode, fetchmail submits notification messages about major errors such as ongoing connection failures. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/TmPA0iMVcrivHFQRAqhxAJ9y9SjD+CfdOVt2j/Kssp7r4cfzKQCePQ9l t1EHYalcDu+I+1DgZPXbrnU= =cMyW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
