#161789 — command not found

Running Wheezy (7.9) on a reinstall after launching Jessie thru a wall.
Reinstalled all my s/w including msmtp and fetchmail. I brought
.fetchmailrc over from my backup as well as .msmtprc. Both had been
working flawlessly on the previous install. Now when I run "fetchmail" I
get "command not found". Perms on .fetchmailrc are 700. A search on
various variations of Wheezy fetchmail "command not found" came up with 
nothing.

Any ideas, pointers or flames appreciated.

Check permissions on fetchmail. Your account may not be allowed to 
execute it.

-rwx------ 1 holtzm holtzm 380 Oct 17 18:46 .fetchmailrc

Looks good to me. All the answers I have gotten so far pin the problem
on permissions. Not so.

Thanx to all that replied.

Not .fetchmailrc - fetchmail. The executable: /usr/bin/fetchmail

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 280000 May  3  2012 /usr/bin/fetchmail

I don't even own it, runs perfectly for me.  Its my understanding that 
fetchmail does an suid to whomever calls it.

You have execute permission - and read permission.  You only can't mess around 
with its innards.

Hi,

There is now a small group of "check your libraries" proposals
which you should consider.

See for an example of such a situation
  http://superuser.com/questions/248512/why-do-i-get-command-not-found-when-the-binary-file-exists

So what do you get from

  ldd $(which fetchmail)

Are there any complaints about missing files ?
Do all the listed libraries exist ?
If they are symbolic links, do all link targets exist ?

There might also be incompatibilities between library versions and
fetchmail binary.
Did you try installing fetchmail from Debian repositories ?
(apt-get install or alike should care for all needed libraries.)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas

.fetchmailrc needs to be 0600 permissions then it may work.

brian@desktop:~$ chmod 755 .fetchmailrc                                                                                   
brian@desktop:~$ fetchmail 
File /home/brian/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx------ (0700) permissions.

So again - which command isn't found?

I would think it should be 0700, but what do I know?

$ fetchmail (or # fetchmail)  I think.

But I've no idea what "launching Jessie thru a wall" is.

Probably a missing library.

I assume when you say you get "command not found" you mean you get
"fetchmail: command not found".  If you mean you get anything else you
can stop reading right now, because everything else in what I'm writing
is assuming that.

Are you *sure* you installed fetchmail on the new system?  I know you
said you did, but that would be the most obvious problem.  You can run

dpkg -l fetchmail

and if it's there, you should get a line like

ii  fetchmail                  6.3.26-2           amd64              SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder

in your output.  Assuming it's there, run

dpkg -L fetchmail | less

and see where the fetchmail program itself is installed.  On my system, I get

/usr/bin/fetchmail

Now, try

echo $PATH

to see if /usr/bin is in your path.  It sort of has to be; I can't
imagine how a system could be useable without it.

Anyway, those are some thoughts...

Aww give me a break. I've been screwing around w/ linux for 10-12 yrs
and yes, fetchmail is installed. Otherwise how could my .fetchmail file
exist with perms of 700 as I stated in my original post?

dpkg -L fetchmail

        ..........huuuge snip.........

/usr/bin
/usr/bin/fetchmail

Yup, there it is.

Thanks for the effort.

A fair fight is the result of poor planning.

That message does not necessarily mean that fetchmail is the command
that was not found.  The message is probably common from the loader due
to it not finding a missing library.

Could you try starting in from there/that folder using your console? 
It's sure to find the command.

Please post your .fetchmailrc, obfuscating any identifying 
information in it.

Scripts can yield up a "command not found" when the nfg 
executable is not the script itself but, say, some utility 
called in the script. (Think: "Do I need to make any egreps 
greps." Just an _example_.)

Also, run 'fetchmail --version' for debugging info.

It was disabled in the /etc/default/fetchmail file.

Thanks to all who responded.
