Post the name of the script, the permissions, and the script itself. Here is mine: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 63 May 27 19:27 fetchmail #!/bin/sh rm -f /var/spool/smail/retry/smtp/* fetch-mail runq Here is the script 'fetch-mail': #!/bin/sh su postman -c "fetchmail -v" The user 'postman' exists solely to handle mail and has a home directory set up to push mail through mailagent, which forwards it appropriately. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
