Running mail server on FC3 - sendmail+cyrus. Some user want to fetch
mail from other servers so I have provided then fetchmail functionality.
The question is how to run fetchmail as a daemon for all users at server
startup?
For now every user is responsible to run fetchmail -d xxx manually but
if server went down for some reason then they need again manually to
start it up.
An alternative would be for each user to set a cron job (see "man
crontab" and "man 5 crontab") that called fetchmail periodically instead
of using "fetchmail -d ...".
This would run at the specified times whenever the server was up,
needing no user interaction once it was set up.
