Here's a line from how I call some cron jobs: 08 0-23/6 * * * /home/bbbs/jdavismail.sh > But when the cron tries to run the job, it gives me the following error > (by mail): > sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' > sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file > fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error > fetchmail: socket error while fetching from pop.netcabo.pt > fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) > sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' > sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file > fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 2 > sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' > sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file > fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error > fetchmail: socket error while fetching from pop.netcabo.pt > fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) I've never run fetchmail from a cron job.. I used to call it under mandrake as a daemon (fetchmail -d 300). I'm not sure if that would be the usage under gentoo. Janis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
