This should work similarly under freebsd. The only real difference would be the
dbmail startup script. Instead of /etc/init.d/dbmail, it'll be
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbmail.sh
<snip>
I use a simple keep-alive script triggered from cron :-(...
like thiz:
--------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
send_alert() {
hour=`date +%H`
mailto=$MAILTO_HI
if [ "$hour" -gt "20" -o "$hour" -lt "8" ]; then
mailto=$MAILTO_LO
fi
mail -s "[${WHEREAMI}:$1]" $MAILTO </dev/null
}
restart_dbmail() {
# send_alert "DeferredDbmailRestartAlert"
/etc/init.d/dbmail restart
}
check_dbmail() {
timeout -1 2 nc -w 5 localhost imap 2>/dev/null |\
head -1|grep -E '\* OK' || return 1
return 0
}
dolog() {
msg="$@"
echo "$0: $msg"
logger -t "$0" "$msg"
}
check_dbmail || restart_dbmail
</snip>

Subject: [Dbmail] FreeBSD keep-alive script ?
Hello,
Regarding Paul post
http://mailman.fastxs.net/pipermail/dbmail/2005-August/007099.html Is there a
way to do that in FreeBSD?
Timout is package for linux and not for FreeBSD.
