# …

# Q: is my $HOME/.fetchmail.pid (jhk00-domains@h20.hostsharing.net) still valid?

$ readlink /proc/$( head -1 .fetchmail.pid )/exe
/usr/bin/fetchmail

# A: the result should be as shown above

N.B. :

  add this to the resp. crontab:

  ##0 0,8,16 * * * readlink /proc/$( head -1 .fetchmail.pid )/exe

    0 0,8,16 * * * ls -l /proc/$( head -1 .fetchmail.pid )/exe

the latter yields this (including *failed* – in case things go wrong):

	SUBJECT: Cron <jhk00-domains@h20> ls -l /proc/$( head -1 $HOME/.fetchmail.pid )/exe (failed);
