Re: tlug: sendmail on TurboLinux

["Eric S. Standlee" <root@example.com>]

Sorry to confuse you Scott.  I meant a bash script that runs all of those
in sequence checking for appropriate execusion (no errors) and then
ppp-off to close the connection.  For instance, in the script I am writing
(nothing special) I cannot get it to wait until pppd is up before going on
to sendmail; fetchmail; and ppp-off.  I know that if I use ip-up it will
automatically do that for me, but then I don't get to see the pretty debug
information from sendmail and fetchmail as they execute because ip-up puts
its stin/stout to /dev/null (YUCK!).

Also, since fetchmail has such helpful exit codes, I was trying to check
the codes and then rerun fetchmail if say it couldn't get to my pop mail
server which happens far too often.

TIA for any help,
Eric
