But I haven't seen that occur on BlueHOST yet. Just wish Apple would fix the IMAp problem or at least acknowledge it. I would imagine that’s true in theory.

Yo Brooklyn! I think you might want to call your hosting company if you want to get the eMails each time the script runs. I can't help you with that one. Theoretically, if you are seeing the IMAP process reduced & your site is not going down ... then it's working. Why bother with getting hundreds of eMails a day telling you what you can already see in the process manager. Also how many processes were you getting? I was getting 4 processes per account, per user. So just for myself, I was generating 16 processes on my go2jo.com domain. I have clients who are checking anywhere from 2 to 6 accounts per user, per office. There Wordpress blog was down constantly, until I used the cron fix. Sadly even with the new OS X 10.5.7 update, there was no fix. Grrrrrr! Good luck! :) Mccormicky …

By default HostMonster sets the cron to run at 3am. Ooops. It seems when I wrote that comment I had set it to run every other minute every 1-3 hours but after 3 am. I set it to every other minute every hour. I was able to put an email address to get a message sent when ever the cron runs. But I am getting Operation Not Permitted after each imap process number but when I check the process manager (as I tend to do rather obsessively) the list is very small so it seems the processes are being killed. Is it possible I am destroying their email correspondence? Is that what Operation Not Permitted is referring to?I have no idea how this stuff goes. I do not use imap and this was my 1st cron.

I wonder if blueHOST's cron commands are different than HostMonster's? Because running the cron job killall imap (with out the quotes) every 2 minutes did not kill the processes every 2 minutes. It didn't kill any of them.The website is still going down and the processes are running freely. Darn it! Thanks for this article.
