[fetchmail-users] fetchmail never dies :-(

[Roberto M. <rob...@gm...>]

Hi:

I'm still havin trouble with it. I'm running fetchmail from user's cron.

Even if it's a network problem, I expect fetchmail to die after a
while. But sometimes it doesn't happen.

I've modified the default 600 seconds fetchmail should wait for any
server response to 60 seconds but it still hangs in my process list.

Example pasted (process stopped at 2pm, I found it at 5pm, which means
3 hours without downloading mail!)

someuser   18614  0.0  0.4  2688 1228 ?        Ss   14:00   0:00
/bin/sh -c fetchmail -t 60
someuser   18616  0.0  0.7  4028 1972 ?        S    14:00   0:00 fetchmail -t 60

Any idea of why is this happening? I'm running fetchmail release
6.2.5+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS over Debian Sarge.
