[gentoo-user] fcron & fetchmail & procmail and the "why not?"

[meino.cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

I have used for testing the following combo:
Configured fetchmail for my user account and configured
procmail to deliver the mail.
I called fetchmail by hand:
It works.
In my fetchmailrc there is the line 

    mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

as said: When started by hand everything is fine.

Also fcron is installed and my personal fcrontab contains
the line:

    @ 5 mrxvt -fn 10x20 -display :0.0 -g 30x5+0+0 -e dialog --yesno "TEST" 10 30

which also works: Every five minutes a dialog box pops up.

BUT!

When using the line:

    @ 5 fetchmail -a

nothing happens: The mail remains on the server and can be downloaded
with

    fetchmail -a

from the commandline.

May be I am a little overhacked today...but what the hack I am doing
wrong here?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
