Description Chris Bayley 2003-03-30 15:17:36 UTC

I have modified my rc-script thus ( added -d 60) in order that fetchmail is daemonised and runs every 60s:

start() {
        checkconfig || return 1

        ebegin "Starting fetchmail"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/fetchmail \
                -- -d 60 -f /etc/fetchmailrc
        eend ${?}
}

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
My fetchmail now runs every 60s instead of just once when start is issued
