Ha! :) To not to involve stdout was the hack! Currently I am running fetchmail via fcron and does what it should since fetchmail directly reports to /dev/null. I think I will change the whole suff to run in daemon mode, since I think (to be read as: "...not know for sure...") that it is a little bit more performant. Or? Thanks for the help! :) Keep hacking! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
