Cron Jobs

[D u n c c s]

Mollat , your script looks really fine so do your cronjobs , having mail
collection upon connection can be a bit tricky coz it will mean should u not
connect u wll not get anything and also shuld u connect @8 in the morning
and remian connected till 12 then u will not get anything in between..But
having a cron will mean yo server is forced by the script (read yo script)
to connect and download mails .I am sure letting cron do the trick is the
best than allowing mail dequeing by connection. I would have of much help if
u had said your cron is not running

make ur script running from the ifup-dev script located in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. this will let u work ur script whenever ur
dialup connection is up.

Hello,

Guys I need your help here.I am using RHL 7.3, Dialing up to my ISP who
assigns me a static IP on connection. I am supposed to send an ETRN to my
host server so I can get emails for my domain example.com. For this I wrote
a script which is supposed to send an ETRN and then send emails in the
mailq. My problem is I never seem to get it working in my crontab. Basically
I have a script written which is syncmail and a log file syncmail.log all in
/etc/ppp/*. My script looks like this :

#! /bin/bash
echo Starting the Mail Synchronisation "at: "`date` >> /etc/ppp/syncmail.log
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q
/etc/ppp/etrn -s hostserver.com &>/dev/null

and my cron looks like this:

10 06-18 * * 1-5 /etc/ppp/syncmail
10 06-18/3 * * 0,6 /etc/ppp/syncmail
10 02 * * * /etc/ppp/syncmail


What I want to happen is to be able to collect mail automatically without
having to push for mail manually, the cron is supposed to do that at least
hourly. Any suggestions.

thanx

Molla.
