Why do you run fetchmail from cron ? Fetchmail can be run in daemon mode with "-d".

crontab.21125" 2L, 65C written crontab: installing new crontab "/tmp/crontab.21125":1: bad minute errors in crontab file, can't install. Do you want to retry the same edit?

Check the crontab entry for errors ("bad minute" is a clue). -- Darren Wyn Rees merlin@netlink.co.uk ASK your ISP to ADD the NEW england.* Newsgroups http://www.england.news-admin.org/accessfaq.html -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

If you have it installed, the crontab editor in KDE>System is very easy to enter entries for cron. I configured fetchmail with it and it is working fine. Remember, in a cron entry, it needs the full path to the command, and fetchmail will need to be run by root if I remember correctly, so make your crontab entries as root. I was encouraged by how easy it turned out to be. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://home.beseen.com/churches/joe_morris -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
