"man fetchmail" and "/FILES":

   ~/.fetchmail.pid
  lock file to help prevent concurrent runs (non-root mode).

You wouldn't want two fetchmail processes going after the same thing
at the same time.  They'd both fail for nonsensical reasons.

It worked perfectly. Thank you. Is this *.pid created due to a falure
of the original process?

Do you have a ~/.fetchmail.pid?  rm that and try again.

fetchmail problem, can't start

2004-07-12 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
I noticed that since last night fetchmail is not working (as
user). The way I have it set up is that the user (me) has the settings
in .fetchmailrc in /home/tony/
Last night we had some power outage, and probably after it is the the
problem started. This is what I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bash -x $(which fetchmail)
/usr/bin/fetchmail: /usr/bin/fetchmail: cannot execute binary file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

and

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/fetchmail
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root   209976 2004-07-04 16:34
/usr/bin/fetchmail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
(line broken by emacs)

Does any one have any ideas?
