If you don't run fetchmail in daemon mode. Just edit crontab
#crontab -e
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /root/runfetchmail #run fetchmail every 10
minutes
#cat /root/runfetchmail
if [ -r /var/run/ppp0.pid]; then
fetchmail -f ~/.fetchmailrc
fi

Subject: Poll fetchmail only when ppp is up
Does any one know how to run fetchmail only when the ppp modem conection
is up.
I have thought to run it in the ip-up file in the /etc/ppp/ directory.
But how do you stop it.
