How about this:
-------------CUT--------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# Auto fetchmail
#
unalias -a
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
TRIES=5
COUNT=0
until [ $COUNT = $TRIES ]
do COUNT=$[COUNT + 1]
ppp-on || {
sleep 2m
continue
}
sleep 40
ifconfig # What's this for?
sendmail -q
fetchmail
sleep 5
ppp-off
exit 0
done
echo "We didn't connect.... sorry."
exit 1
# End
-------------CUT--------------
To debug, change the:
#!/bin/bash"
to:
#!/bin/bash -x
and the execution of each command will be echoed.
