You can reduce the output to a single line with the --silent option on the fetchmail invocation. HTH, Jeffrey Quoting Morsal Roudbay :

Why run fetchmail from cron? Isn't it enough to start it as daemon and specify poll interval? I do it system-wide with the following command: /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 300 -a -L /var/log/fetchmail -f /root/.fetchmailrc Fetchmail runs as daemon and every 300 seconds poll POP accounts at ISP. -Kastus On Sun, Apr 29, 2001 at 06:35:07PM -0500, Jeffrey Taylor wrote:

I have run fetchmail as a cron process because it doesn't take up (virtual/swap) memory between polling intervals and I don't need to worry about restarting it if it dies. Jeffrey Quoting Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka :
