Topic: Fetchmail error

[Rien]

Hi,

I frequently get the following messages from "Cron Daemon":

fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 31949.
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 31402
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 30669

What does it mean?

Thanks,

Rien

It means that when fetchmail is run via /etc/startmail the process is not completed yet.

The reason might be a few things, the mail server you're fetching from might be offline etc...

As long as that process is not "dead" you will receive those messages, as often as you've configured to fetch in server-manager.

Thanks,

So there's no harm in it?
