You can also run fetchmail in daemon mode using the -d switch, and then you just specify how many seconds between pools. fetchmail -d 120 That will have it check the account(s) every two minutes. For my own e-mail, I have a .fetchmailrc file in my home directory. I then execute fetchmail under my own personal login. Of course, I'd have to restart it after a reboot, but this machine hasn't needed a reboot in weeks so I'm good. > Francois Kritzinger wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > How do you get pine to check for email? > > > > I can SEND mail using pine, but not GET mail. > > > > I can send+recieve in Netscape though, so sendmail is working I guess... > > > > Thanks. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Matt Barton matt@fear.net Indianapolis, IN http://www.mattbarton.ws/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
