Hello Michael
It should work if you use just echo, as this is a shell builtin.
If that 'echo something' is an external command or a pipe you have
to use 'echo something || exit 1'.
How exactly does the script look like?
Here is the script:
Hello Will
backtick 1 0 0 my_script.sh
Why not get rid of the loop in your script and make screen run it
every X seconds? That will solve your problem (although it doesn't
really suggest the cause).
I had that before. Problem is, that the call to the imap-server often
takes several seconds.
