Here's a pastie straight from the script if you wish to give it another try http://pastie.org/1081580. The nice thing about this one is that it prevents offlineimap from hogging system resources, which is does do every once in awhile unfortunately.**EDIT: I checked the script and the code colorer did in fact screw up some of the ampersands. I escaped them correctly so now they should display properly. Still need to figure out why it's not indenting though :p No problem, glad you figured it out :)

The problem seems to do with the daemon_start script; I used one found at pbrisbin.com:8080/pages/mutt2.html:#!/bin/sh PID=`pgrep offlineimap` [[ -n "$PID" ]] && exit 1 offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet &>/dev/null & exit 0This solves all the previous issues I had!

The problem seems to do with the daemon_start script; I used one found at pbrisbin.com:8080/pages/mutt2.html:

#!/bin/sh
PID=`pgrep offlineimap`
[[ -n "$PID" ]] && exit 1
offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet &>/dev/null &
exit 0

This solves all the previous issues I had! Anyway, though I’d let you know and say thanks for lending me your time. =)

(awesome site by the way — it covers those little issues that don’t bother me enough to make me look them up, but make me grind my teeth at night…heheh)

I can invoke offlineimap manually by either running it in the terminal or using this mutt keybinding:
macro index Z “/usr/bin/offlineimap -q -o” “sync IMAP”

I also used cron to exec a .sh file after ‘/etc/rc.d/crond restart’

start_daemon is the only thing being run (and ever ran) by cron besides file.sh briefly, and there’s nothing in /var/log/messages.

…maybe when using offlineimap with cron it doesn’t load my ~/.offlineimaprc?

If it's not throwing errors when you run the daemon script manually then it's and issue with cron, although I'm not seeing any problems with the line that you posted here. Are you running anything else via cron or is this it? If not, maybe try running something simple like touching a file every minute to makre sure cron is running anything at all.You can try checking in /var/log/messages to see if cron might have complained about anything, but that's unlikely.

I know that seems like a stupid question but it has bitten me several times before when I wasn't looking at the obvious first.Did you copy the 'set record' line from your .muttrc? If so, you're missing the second 'r' in record. If that's not it, what exactly happens to the mail when you send it out, does it get saved anywhere?

The problem is that offlineimap doesn't start until I invoke it manually in the shell, so I think I just need somebody to look over my cron/start_daemon setup.Some details: I installed dcron, made sure crond was starting up in rc.conf (it's backgrounded) and added this to my crontab with 'crontab -e':*/1 * * * * exec ~/bin/start_daemon -n19 -c2 -p7 python /usr/bin/offlineimap~/bin/start_daemon is unchanged.

Hey, I followed these instructions on Arch and I think I’m running into issues with cron and offlineimap. The problem is that offlineimap doesn’t start until I invoke it manually in the shell, so I think I just need somebody to look over my cron/start_daemon setup.

Some details:
I installed dcron, made sure crond was starting up in rc.conf (it’s backgrounded) and added this to my crontab with ‘crontab -e’:

*/1 * * * * exec ~/bin/start_daemon -n19 -c2 -p7 python /usr/bin/offlineimap

~/bin/start_daemon is unchanged. I’m also having issues with getting mutt/msmtp to record files to the Sent folder on the IMAP server using ‘set recod = “+USERNAME_IN_MAILDIR/Sent”‘ Any ideas?
