 |
|
Hello, trying to run fetchmail as user, as recommended, when booting by adding fetchmail to default level but it fails with error message complaining that '/etc/fetchmail must be owned by you' currently it is owned by sysadmin:sysadmin.
I can start the fetchmail daemon as user sysadmin via webmin but want it to start on booting.
Any ideas?
cheers

Is there no other way using standard fetchmail?

| You could run fetchmail in your crontab, I believe. |

Thanks for reply, sorry meant any other to run a daemon?
I can't daemon from webmin as user as /etc/fetcmailrc is owned by user!
Just want to be able to do on boot.
