Yes, that does work fine and continues to work ok until the server is rebooted. I then have to manually restart OTRS service (even though it does start automatically) or start the crontab manually. Is it something to do with suse-rcotrs?

I appear to have two entries in crontab for postmaster_mailbox:

Could this be causing the problem?

Check the cronjobs.
/opt/otrs/var/cron
To see if the cron is running:
crontab -u -l otrs
Good luck.

Hi
I am running OTRS 2.4.5 on OpenSUSE 11.1
I have a problem when the server is rebooted after updates. The Postmaster mail account will not fetch email from the configured POP3 account unless I click ‘run now’ or manually execute ./Cron sh start otrs
Is there a way for this to automatically start after a reboot?
Thanks.

Thanks.
I added the following to /etc/crontab :
@reboot sleep 600; /opt/otrs/bin/ ./Cron sh start otrs
After a reboot (and waited for 15 minutes) I still get "no crontab for
otrs"
Running /opt/otrs/bin/ ./Cron sh start otrs manually kicks the crontab
into action.
