Hi gang, I, like many of us here prolly, use fetchmail to grab my mail when I'm online. As such, I've set up scripts in ip-up.d to start up fetchmail as me to get my mail, and another in ip-down.d to stop fetchmail again when I log off.
My script in ip-up.d looks like this: #!/bin/sh /bin/su -c '/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 300 --syslog -F -K -a --smtpaddress \ rei' damon Which works fine, and grabs all my mail, using my ~/.fetchmailrc My script in ip-down.d looks like this: #!/bin/sh su -c '/usr/bin/fetchmail --quit' damon This one doesn't seem to work at all. After I log off, the fetchmail process is still working, and I see fetchmail messages in my xconsole. This isn't a huge problem, but it *should* work, I would have thought. Anyone have any suggestions (yes, the script is executable, and it works if I call it manually from root...)
