I'm trying to run fetchmail as a daemon on fedora core 3.
I tried
6.2.5
6.2.0-6
built with the usual vanilla configure;make;make install
but can get no joy. The only way I can get
it to work is by using crontab with a script
that kills any existing daemon then runs one
with "-d 0" (which sometimes terminates and
sometimes doesn't - hence the kill).
-d 0 means "daemon mode off". Use a decent setting, such as -d 900,
when starting fetchmail.
doh ..... yes I know it means daemon mode off, as I said,
I can't get it to work with daemon mode on.
