Hi all,
I am trying to use fetchmail with sendmail as an offline dialup mail server. From crontab, I regularly dial via wvdial to connect with mailserver of my ISP. Through /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, I trigger fetchmail to download mail and sendmail to send its queued mail to mailserver of my ISP with "sendmail -q" command. After that dialup gets disconnected.
My problem is how can I know or detect that sendmail has completed sending its queued mail to my mailserver of ISP, so that I can disconnect my dialup connection safely.
Hoping for your help.

Make sure sendmail is run in deferred mode, then it should be as simple as checking it's status using ps.
