[Sheflug] Fetchmail

[Richard Ibbotson <richard [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Got Fetchmail going again with Procmail due to spam and related
problems.  Only thing now is that I'd like to get Fetchmail running
with crontab on an hourly basis so that something like 'fetchmail -d0'
happens every sixty minutes.

As usual I've forgotten the syntax.  Vixie cron /etc/crontab
Present one looks like this...

-*/15 * * * *   root  test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons &&
/usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1
59 *  * * *     root  rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly
14 0  * * *     root  rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
29 0  * * 6     root  rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly
44 0  1 * *     root  rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly


So, something like .....  ??

59 *  * * *   root /usr/bin/fetchmail -d0


I'm probably wrong which is why I've sent this in.

Thanks



Richard
