To use fetchmail on Leopard and following, I recommend you use launchd to control it. Google video has a reasonably good and thorough presentation of the new 'launchd' process controller: <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1781045834610400422> Your plist for fetchmail then goes into /Library/LaunchDaemons, and for me, the plist looks something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http:// www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>GroupName</key> <string>wheel</string> <key>Label</key> <string>local.fetchmail</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/bin/fetchmail</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/bin/fetchmail</string> <string>-f</string> <string>/etc/fetchmail/fetchmailrc</string> <string>-L</string> <string>/var/log/mail.log</string> <string>-s</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string>_myFetchmailUser_</string> </dict> </plist> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Carbon Emacs User Group http://groups.google.com/group/carbon-emacs?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
