Hi
I am trying to get fetchmail to run as a daemon from an init script. The
script is below:
#!/bin/sh
#
# fetchmail This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# the fetchmail DAEMON.
#
#
# chkconfig: 2345 95 5
# description: fetchmail fetchs mail from pop3/imap mail servers
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
[ -f /usr/bin/fetchmail ] || exit 0
[ -f /etc/fetchmail.conf ] || exit 0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting fetchmail: "
daemon /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 1 --syslog -f /etc/fetchmail.conf
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/fetchmail
;;
stop)
# Stop daemons.
echo -n "Shutting down fetchmail: "
/usr/bin/fetchmail -q --syslog
echo
rm -f /lock/subsys/fetchmail
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
status)
status fetchmail
;;
*)
echo "Usage: fetchmail {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
this script seems to work except that how do i get it not to output the
following to the command line "fetchmail: background fetchmail at 3419
killed." when the script is shutting fetchmail down. Also is this the best
way of creating this script?
Thankyou
Charlie
