Mollat , your script looks really fine so do your cronjobs , having mail collection upon connection can be a bit tricky coz it will mean should u not connect u wll not get anything and also shuld u connect @8 in the morning and remian connected till 12 then u will not get anything in between..But having a cron will mean yo server is forced by the script (read yo script) to connect and download mails .I am sure letting cron do the trick is the best than allowing mail dequeing by connection. I would have of much help if u had said your cron is not running Duncan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anish Mathew" <nedumannilanish@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Mollatt Ntini" <mntini@xxxxxxxxxx>; "General Red Hat Linux discussion list" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 10:55 AM Subject: Re: Cron Jobs make ur script running from the ifup-dev script located in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. this will let u work ur script whenever ur dialup connection is up.

I am supposed to send an ETRN to my host server so I can get emails for my domain example.com. For this I wrote a script which is supposed to send an ETRN and then send emails in the mailq. My problem is I never seem to get it working in my crontab. Basically I have a script written which is syncmail and a log file syncmail.log all in /etc/ppp/*. My script looks like this : #! /bin/bash echo Starting the Mail Synchronisation "at: "`date` >> /etc/ppp/syncmail.log /usr/sbin/sendmail -q /etc/ppp/etrn -s hostserver.com &>/dev/null and my cron looks like this: 10 06-18 * * 1-5 /etc/ppp/syncmail 10 06-18/3 * * 0,6 /etc/ppp/syncmail 10 02 * * * /etc/ppp/syncmail What I want to happen is to be able to collect mail automatically without having to push for mail manually, the cron is supposed to do that at least hourly. Any suggestions. thanx Molla. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!
