I am new to Unix/Linux but liking bsd alot. Anyways. I use fetchmail 5.9.13 and mutt 1.2.5.1i and I am using Fluxbox as my window manager. I want to know what can I add to my .fluxbox/menu config file to launch fetchmail right before it launches mutt or vice versa so I don't have to run fetchmail by hand each and everytime viewing my e-mails. This is what I have in my .fluxbox/menu configuration file now to launch mutt > [exec] (Mutt) {Eterm -e mutt} Hope I gave enough information. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > I put an entry in ~/.login to run fetchmail as a daemon: [syborg@janeway syborg]$ cat .login fetchmail -d 300 HTH - JB # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
