[SuSE Linux] fetchmail crontab
Ok I figgured it out <grin> first I created a mini shell script vi getmail fetchmail connix.com chmod +x getmail <makes getmail executable> crontab -e <creates and edits a crontab in the users dir> 30 * * * * sh getmail<30 min,every month,day runs the shell script getmail> Im sure there are other methods using the full path rather than a shell script but it works for me. So now Ill tweek it so it gets the mail rite befor I get up in the am and have my coffee.. just fire up pine! any one have suggestions for downloading news ;-) seriously when its working.. fetchmail, procmail, diald, cron... its a beautifull thing!! rob -- Linux Home Page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> Powered By ---> S.u.S.E 5.3 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Get leafnode. I think you'll like it, especially judging from your foundness for fetchmail cronjobs etc. as it works similar. Leafnode acts like a newserver on your machine, and is really easy to set up, fast, and small. You can use it to grab news periodically and read them offline with pine, slrn, tin, netscape---i.e., your client of choice. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
