Hi,

i'd like to run fetchmail in daemonmode on centos 7.

i have used a init script on centos 6, but using this one i run into
selinux trouble.

thanks

There and entire section in the fetchmail man page
dedicated to 'DAEMON MODE'. And an sh(1) page.
Once you get any unix job detached from the terminal,
whatever tools you use to manage it is up to you.
Since you're trying to use centos tools, you probably
want to consult the centos forums.

The sweetest part is that with systemd you don't even need to
detach fetchmail; systemd is quite good at supervising foreground
processes, so something that runs "fetchmail -vNd120" or similar
should be good enough, say, in a .service file with Type=simple.

G'luck,
Peter

For that matter, so is daemontools or plain old shell.
Grand infrastructure is often overkill when unix will do,
and users need to learn unix first before going grand.

Hi,

fixed it.

Writing the unit file wasnt the problem, but a but in Centos 7 selinux.

https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10069

After doing the fix on mount.tmp, all is good.

Thanks for helping
