How does one get checkproc to work?

Try

checkproc /usr/bin/fetchmail && echo "it's running"

checkproc simply returns a value, which you can then test for, for example using if, as in your previous script

Also check out the man page for options and, most of all, the two aliases and primary modes of operation: absolute path name of executable (checkproc) and base name of executable (pidofproc). Randall Schulz
