>> Here is an example of one of them:

>> # m h  dom mon dow   command
>> 0-59/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/krypos
>>
>> $ cat /usr/local/bin/krypos
>> #!/bin/sh
>> killall fetchmail &> /dev/null
>> /usr/bin/fetchmail &> /dev/null
>>
>> I have also tried
>>
>> 0-59/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/krypos &> /dev/null
>>
>> But I still get the email every 5 minutes.

>> That did not happen on my old computer.
