Subject: [pmg-devel] [PATCH 1/1 package-rebuilds] fetchmail: improve shipped service file
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 13:32:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924113247.50931-2-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250924113247.50931-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com>
fetchmail exits with 3 if:
'The user authentication step failed...' (see fetchmail(1)).
This also includes if there are no accounts configured for fetching,
e.g. if all accounts are configured with 'skip' instead of 'poll'.
The usecase in PMG is to set all disabled accounts to 'skip'.
So simply do not consider an exit of 3 as failure.
Additionally adapt the Restart value to 'on-failure' (else systemd
tries restarting 5 times and gives up)
see systemd.service(5) for the settings.
