Hi,
I’m running centos 5.7 with sendmail-8.13.8-8.1.el5_7, fetchmail-6.3.6-4.el5 and procmail-3.22-17.1.el5.centos. My server is having around 2000 mailboxes and this server used to fetch mails for all these users using fetchmail from the other MX server. I’ve configured the below cron job using webmin for downloading these mail
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /etc/webmin/fetchmail/check.pl --file /var/log/fetchmaillog.
But the load average for the server goes high automatically after every 4 to 5 hours due to multiple fetchmail instances and after that I’ve to either kill all the fetchmail jobs or restart the server for making the system up again.
Kindly suggest how can i reduce this load average issue or any other way out for downloading the mails from the parent server running on sendmail again.
get cron to call a script that establishes a lock file, thus next round of cron will not start fetchmail again until the first invocation completes.
