how to discover if movemail runs?

how to discover if movemail runs?

[sunil]

I hope this is the right place to ask...


I'm trying to configure the vm newsreader
in GNU Emacs 20.7.1 , on mandrake 8.1

I download the mail fetchmail, filter with procmail,
and that all seems to work.

I reckon I've also got a correct .vm file, that tells
emacs movemail program to shift the mail from various 
spools to vm folders.

But the mail doesn't get there.
And, I think the problem might be with movemail.

What tests can I do, to find out if movemail runs
when I ask it to?
(Or rather, when vm tells it to)
