Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.1-2
Severity: normal
I recently updated from 6.2.5.4 to this version of fetchmail and noticed
that I was no longer able to stop the systemwide fetchmail with
/etc/init.d/fetchmail stop.
Looking at the init script I noticed that the definition of the PIDFILE
had changed.
Old Version:
PIDFILE="`getent passwd $USER | awk -F: '{ print $6 }'`/.fetchmail.pid"
New Version:
PIDFILE="/var/run/fetchmail.pid"
Since the daemon is running under the fetchmail account NO
/var/run/fetchmail.pid file gets written and s-s-d cannot find the
correct pidfile.
Changing the definition to the one in the old version made it work
again.
Kind regards,
Michael Guntsche
