Ok I figgured it out <grin>
first I created a mini shell script
vi getmail
fetchmail connix.com
chmod +x getmail <makes getmail executable>
crontab -e <creates and edits a crontab in the users dir>
30 * * * * sh getmail<30 min,every month,day runs the shell script getmail>
Im sure there are other methods using the full path rather than a shell
script but it works for me.
So now Ill tweek it so it gets the mail rite befor I get up in the am and
have my coffee.. just fire up pine!
any one have suggestions for downloading news ;-)
seriously
when its working.. fetchmail, procmail, diald, cron... its a beautifull
thing!!
