Can you check if the PID (first line in /var/run/fetchmail/fetchmail.pid) is actually fetchmail's PID? The stale lock recovery isn't very bright, if any process has taken the PID recorded in the file, fetchmail assumes it were running. -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
