[fetchmail-users] Exit Codes, a script and daemon

[fink <fi...@ra...>]

Hi,

I would like Fetchmail to check my mailserver periodically for new mail.

I created a small script which just needs one argument (the exit code
from fetchmail):

if [ $1  = 1]
then
  echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled
else
  echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled
fi
exit

The trouble is now how to get the exit code passed to the script:
When fetchmail is running deamonised it never returns and thus the exit
code does not exist.

Is it possible in some odd way to pass the result of the fechmail mail
check to the program called by the "postconnect" command ?

The idea I had was something like this:

[poll SERVERNAME with proto IMAP user 'USER' password 'PASSWD'
postconnect '/usr/bin/servicemled $?']
