fetchmail restart or awaken?
Hi,
still got the same problem with the way fetchmail is set up in debian
(woody):
after dialing with "pon provider" "/etc/init.d/fetchmail awaken" is called by
fetchmail-script in ip-up.d. But fetchmail doesn't fetch mail,
declaring a "temporary name server error". It does that all the time I'm
offline, understandably. What I don't understand is, why it doesn't
realize resolve.conf has changed after dialling and just goes on saying
it can't resolve even after the awaken signal.
If I change "awaken" to "restart" fetchmail gets the mail (no problem
resolving the mail-provider's address in that case).
It seems as if the fetchmail-daemon remembers it couldn't resolve
pop.isp.xyz (after getting started on bootup) and thus repeats the error
message without even trying, whereas a newly started copy finds out it
_can_ resolve.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Christian
