 Anacron job and fetchmail.pid Hi - I get the following email from the system all the time: Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on abc /etc/cron.daily/checksecurity: find: /home/xyz/.fetchmail.pid: No such file or directory ~ Is there any config file that I can edit to stop Anacron to complain about this ".fetchmail.pid"? Thanks.      |

First, does /home/xyz/.fetchmail.pid exist? Is it a broken symbolic link? If I'm not mistaken, that file should only exist while fetchmail is running. If it doesn't exist now, you might have a crontab or a script which runs fetchmail, and just happens to be running every day at the same time as checksecurity. If "ls -l /home/xyz/.f*" produces the message "/home/xyz/.fetchmail.pid: No such file or directory", that could be a sign of filesystem corruption; you might need to run fsck. -- "At a scheduled time, the robot would pull the flush lever and scream as it got sucked down the drain." --Kibo |

No, the file does not exist. Like you said, it must be just the timing. When the cron is running, fetchmail is trying to get the mail. Thanks for the info. |
