I'm running a daemonized fetchmail at work, ~1000 messages daily. Periodically the daemon dies. No good reason. OK, I can deal with that. Create an /etc/cron.d/fetchmail file with the following:
3/15 * * * * root /etc/init.d/fetchmail start 1>/dev/null
...which should restart fetchmail every fifteen minutes.
Problem is, it doesn't.
I've changed the inovcation to read:
3,18,33,48 * * * * root /etc/init.d/fetchmail start 1>/dev/null
Checking just now, the daemon's still running.
This gets pretty old, really fast, given I live and die by email....
Ideas? Thanks.
