I’m using fetcher\_daemon  
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/slantwise/fetcher/trunk which is a daemon  
that checks a mail server.

When ever I run ‘ruby script/mailer\_daemon\_fetcher start’ it works  
great, i get my mail but then i get an error:

richard-schneemans-macbook-pro:contacts richardschneeman$  
/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb:288:in `shutdown': Socket is not connected (Errno::ENOTCONN) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb:288:in `disconnect’

`daemonize' from /Users/richardschneeman/Documents/AptanaStudio/contacts/lib/daemon.rb:14:in `daemonize’  
from script/mailer\_daemon\_fetcher:28

After which I no longer receive mail. Here is a copy of my code inside  
of the fetcher daemon [http://pastie.org/387939](http://pastie.org/387939) .

Does anyone have any hints?
