These are scripts to help you running fetchmail in special situations. Note: you're on your own using these -- I don't really understand them, I'm just passing them along. --esr maildaemon: Larry Fahnoe wrote this for driving fetchmail from cron. It may be useful if you want to force a PPP link up and then poll for mail at specified times. I have rearranged it slightly to make it easier to configure. novell: Some mail from Dan Newcombe describing how to write a procmail rule that will domainify Novell server names. login & logout: These are intended to help if you typically have multiple logins active. Here's the script composer's original README: ============================== CUT HERE ====================================. Please find attached 2 files, ~/.bash_login & ~/.bash_logout What these do is try to keep track of WHO is the process/tty that ran fetchmail in daemon mode. I tried to use the bash Variable PPID, but when using xterm the PPID is set to the xterm's pid not the bash shell's pid so.... They have been lightly tested. Any comments...
