I instruct fetchmail to go into the background and contact my ISP's POP server every so often to haul newly arrived messages onto the local disk. It seems that every so often the daemon gets stupid, continuing to run but failing to notice newly arrived email, even if I kick it in the prescribed manner with another (non-daemon) instance. I'll notice after a while that I've not seen any new messages for some time so I'll kill and restart the fetchmail daemon and that new incarnation will then notice and transfer all the waiting messages that the stuporous incarnation had been seemingly unaware of.
I haven't yet gone to the trouble of doing a serious debug (like with strace) of this problem, yet. Anybody heard of this problem or have any ideas about what could be wrong? ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
