Have you given the conf file the necessary read/write permissions - I'd CHMOD 777 it to be on the safe side!

Both TPOPD.TCL and TPOPD.CONF are set to 777.

The script starts normally and doesn't immediately barf out the error that I previously posted.

It usually takes 30 sec - 1 min before the mem dump message comes up and after that, if you execute a PS AX you will see the process name next to the number listed as *** (as indicated in the dump message.)

Running 3.1.0u5 monte'd to 3.1.0, if that makes any difference.

Is there a setting or a line of code I can change so that TPop only retrieves a message once? I know it has the option to delete from the server, but I don't want to do that. Programs like Outlook will leave messages on the server, but only retrieve them once. Is it possible to do the same with TPop?

Since it's checking every 10 minutes, it has retrieved some of my mail from today over 30 times already.

Also, it seems to die once a day or more. Is there something I can do to prevent that? I'll look at logs, but I'm not sure which one to check.


Thanks!

OK, I'm trying tpop for the first time on my DTiVo running 3.1 and I'm not sure if I have started to loose it.........

I've put it in /var/hack/bin, set the permission and get:
bash: /var/hack/bin/tpopd.tcl: No such file or directory

hm.....

new copy put in the same place, without setting permissions result in:
bash: /var/hack/bin/tpopd.tcl: Permission denied
which makes perfect sense, it finds it but denies access, which is should do.

Just for a sanity check, I "tailed" it just to verify that the file is not corrupted:

} elseif {$save == "true"} {
save_conf_file $configfile
} else {
while {[file exists "/var/hack/bin/tpopd.lock"] != 1} {
# puts [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%I:%M:%S"]
parse_messages_and_store [check_mail]
save_conf_file $configfile
after $interval
}
}


.....looks OK to me (not corrupted) AND ... it's there....
changing access with: chmod ugo+x tpopd.tcl, verify with: ls -l

-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 39480 Oct 5 2002 tail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 28284 Oct 5 2002 tee

-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 29208 Oct 5 2002 uptime
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 29940 Oct 5 2002 wc


trying .. tpopd.tcl -h and here we go again.....
bash: /var/hack/bin/tpopd.tcl: No such file or directory

Have I completely lost my TiVo intelligence ?

Did you FTP it across in binary mode? Did you edit the file on a Windows box before you transferred it - if so you'll need to run it through a DOS->UNIX converter to remove the carriage returns.

That error can also mean a library the script depends on is missing.

I downloaded a new copy and this time I succeeded, looks like I managed to mess up during the extraction the first time.

Now it is installed, and I'm loving it !
