OK I tried making my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail-up script as follows: #!/bin/sh su - -c '/usr/bin/fetchmail --fetchmailrc /etc/ppp/.fetchmailrc --idfile /etc/ppp/.fetchids' mail
Here is the error I get when trying to run this script as user root: # ./fetchmail-up fetchmail: couldn't time-check the run-control file fetchmail: lstat: /etc/ppp/.fetchmailrc: Permission denied Here is the listing of the .fetchids and .fetchmailrc files -rw------- 1 mail mail 1 Mar 27 01:08 /etc/ppp/.fetchids -rw------- 1 mail mail 560 Mar 27 00:23 /etc/ppp/.fetchmailrc Is there some problem with what I have done? Regards. Mark.
