I'm getting the message:
fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
...every time I run fetchmail (5.3.4-1) on my system. I just checked
and I'm running the most current version.
Running strace, I find the following:
open("/home/karsten/.fetchmail.pid", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=5, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0
x40014000
read(3, "10581", 4096) = 5
read(3, "", 4096) = 0
kill(10581, SIG_0) = -1 ESRCH (No such process)
write(2, "fetchmail: removing stale lockfi"..., 35fetchmail: removing
stale lock
file
) = 35
unlink("/home/karsten/.fetchmail.pid") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
close(3) = 0
Naturally, ~/.fetchmail.pid does not exist.
Things appear to be working properly, but the message is getting mailed
to me as fetchmail runs from a user crontab. I'd like to lose it.
