Hi there all,

I have a question regarding fetchmail. i knowthat there is a mailing list
for that, however I presume that a great number of you use fetchmail for
mail retreaval. I have everything set up and working, with a .fetchmailrc
script in my home directory, however each time I boot the computer I have
to physically enter in the "fetchmail" command. The in runs as a daemon.
Ok, fair enough. But what I would like to know is if there is a way (and
how) to get the daemon up and runing automatically with the bootup of my
computer. Is this possible? I have tried several things using the rc.local
file and a script, however it has been up to now unsuccessful.

Any ideas or comment?

Thanks in advance

Ralph

You should run fetchmail as a cron job.

Or, if you want to get fancy, you could start up fetchmail everytime you log
in using your shells start up script (.bashrc for example), and then stop it
when you log out using the shells logout script (.bash_logout for example).
