Sorry everybody! I'm talking nonsense, did probably too many things at the same time today. And I wrote the script 8 years ago :( Locking is not an issue at all! Nobody is accessing the spool file at unpredictable moments, because it is the script itself which triggers 'fetchmail' when done with processing. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
