How to make cornjob for Fetchmail

Postby mveerdon » Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:53 am

I have tried to setup fetchMail according to this url http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/fetchmail.html.

It works, but how can I make a corn job of it?
Or are there better ways to use fetchmail?

Personally, I use Webmin (http://webmin.com/) to manage my server. It creates cron jobs very easily using a web page and it's easy to go back and turn them off and on and such.
I have officially quit using Scalix, but continue to visit the forums

*/5 * * * * "/usr/bin/fetchmail"

This would execute fetchmail command every 5 minutes.

I was recommended to use fetchmail even by Scalix :wink:
