[ILUG-BOM] How do i make fetchmail to poll for messages every 30 minutes.
by Rohit 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hello Luggers/GNUer's I have implemented Technoinfosys SBS Server 2004 at my office.We use it for proxy,natting,mail,file server etc.I have 50 users on the network configured for fetching mail from the server.Every time i have to manually check all the account for downloading the messages.Is there any way that fetchmail checks all the servers by itself every 30 or 60 minutes.Can a small script be written which can automate the process.Even half hearted clues will be appreciated.

setfont and X
by Trideepraj Roychoudhury 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hi, I change the default font of a user a/c by this line in .bashrc script. setfont default8x9 This works fine, but as soon as goto X(ALT+F7) and then come back to text console the font changes to the default system font. I have tried to change the default system font in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. But if i do that then on text console, when the screen becomes full the next line after the last line scrolls off below the screen and I cant see what i am typing. I have another system where i have changed the system font in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and it works fine. Both have the same distro RH9. Video card on the faulty system its builtin on the motherboard(Microtek 845GL Intel chipset) and on the other its nvidia GeForce2 Could some one tell what is wrong? ===== FSA Labs ( www.fsalabs.com ) Linux Kernel Consultants Phone : +91-22-2754-4226 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Unix's revenge. I was personally rather astonished to hear that Sun Microsystems and Microsoft had buried the hatchet in their long running war of words. This startled me, because I had become used to Sun being the only holdout in a world where Microsoft makes the rules. So apparently the Silicon Valley maverick has been defeated and forced to compromise with the giant from Redmond, Washington. http://in.rediff.com/news/2004/may/03rajeev.htm Enjoy!

My attempts to download it have failed so far so I'd like to have the CD to play around with. Is there anyway I can get my hands on one so I can make a copy. I think as a first step let's do an inventory of the things that we will need for a fixed target audience size, say a 10 node flashmob. Then we can think of scaling it up if it works. -Rajesh
