# Fetchmail init script
# Latest change: Do Jun 23 16:59:08 CEST 2005
#
# A fetchmailrc file containg hosts and passwords for all local users should be
# placed in /etc/fetchmailrc. Remember to make the /etc/fetchmailrc mode 600
# to avoid disclosing the users' passwords.
#
# This script will NOT start or stop fetchmail if the /etc/fetchmailrc file
# does not exist.
