Arg you are right. > I start the script with awaken, it calls start-stop-daemon, that observes > (due the pidfile) that fetchmail is altrady running, and doesn't anything. > You can't start another process (and fetchmail have no --awaken option), > so there are two solutions: > * kill-and-restart the process every time the awaken option of the script > is called > * use the old solution (launch a non-daemon fetchmail, that will end after > mail check/download) using different options rispect the daemon start > (as I suggested in the past mail :P) > > Surely there is a lot of different (better?) solutions, but I have no > more ideas! :) I thought about your solutions but here comes mine :) From fetchmail(1): Normally, calling fetchmail with a daemon in the background sends a wake-up signal to the dae- mon, forcing it to poll mailservers immediately. (The wake-up signal is SIGHUP if fetchmail is running as root, SIGUSR1 otherwise.) The wake-up action also clears any 'wedged' flags indi- cating that connections have wedged due to failed authentication or multiple timeouts. So my fix here is to get the pid from the pid-file and send SIGUP (kill -1) to the process. Works pretty well and imho is the sanest solution here. What do you think?
