I am at the end of my limited knowledge, and so I come to the list
for enlightenment.
I have FM running on a RH6.2 box in daemon mode - it works fine for
a few days and then quits inexplicably - no log info at all.
I got tired of this, so I set it up as a cron job - the following line
entered into the /etc/crontab:
*/30 * * * * root /usr/bin/fetchmail -L /var/log/fetchmail
No mail delivered - I had purposely left off the 2>/dev/null so that I
could see what went on when the job ran. Checking the cron
generated mail
to root showed:
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified
even though it did not have this particular problem in daemon mode
and the .fetchmailrc file was still in place with perms 0600.
If I run the same command (as is in crontab) from the command
line, it works beautifully.
Is there something I am missing here?
