Topic: fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 16218.

[David MONDON]

I've got the following message in my mailbox.... I didn't have it before:

Objet: Cron /etc/startmail
  Date:7 Mar 2002 18:35:02 -0000
   De: root@"domain" (Cron Daemon)
    A:root@"domain"

fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 16218.
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 16218.

any idea on how to suppress it... ???

thx David

hi,

this means that fetchmail tries to fetch mails while another fetchmail process is started by cron. reduce the time fetchmail runs.

I didn't change anything in my configuration.
