#!/usr/bin/perl # User contribution to fetchmail by Torsten Mueller torsten@archesoft.de # v1.1 22/may/2001 # the reason for this script is to check, if fetchmail (in daemon mode) works # you should have perl and the perlmodule File::Compare installed # File::Compare you can find at http://www.cpan.org/ # installation: # edit the config part of this script # create a cronjob , the time it should run should be higher than the pollintervall !! # possible problems: # you have set the cron intervall to short # the script doesn't have permissions to write to directories or to execute fetchmail # you didn't start fetchmail in daemon mode but use cron to fetch mail # you can't read my english # how does it work # really simple, the script checks, if there was a change to the logfile of fetchmail # to find this out, the script makes a backup of the original logfile and compares # the size of the original and the backup logfile # i know it's a dirty way, but hey, it works ... use File::Compare; # config # where lives fetchmail on your system $fetchmail = '/usr/bin/fetchmail'; # where should be the logfile for fetchmail $fetchmaillog = '/var/log/fetchmail.log'; # where could the script write the backup of the logfile $fetchmailwatch = '/var/log/fetchmailwatch'; # after how many seconds fetchmail should get mail, the poll intervall $fetchmailtime = '3600'; # which config file should fetchmail use for retrieval $fetchmailconf = '/root/.fetchmailrc'; # where lives your cp program $copycp = 'cp'; #end config if (!(-e "$fetchmaillog")) { # es existiert keine logdatei von fetchmail # there isn't a logfile of fetchmail print "There seems to be a problem with the fetchmail daemon\n I couldn't find a logfile of fetchmail.\n I try to stop and to start fetchmail in daemon mode.\n If you get this mail more then once, then check your system !\n ------------------------------------------------------------\n Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten bei der Ueberwachung des fetchmail Daemons\n Es existiert keine Logdatei.
