Ok, first off, change your name; one Karsten is enough. :-) If you want to parallelize fetchmail, make four config files, and run four fetchmails, each with the -f option; or just pass each all the parameters on the command line, although that's bad because of passwords. If you want fetchmail to run in the background, use the -d option to make it a daemon. Combine both for parallel daemons. Don't forget to kill the daemons if you're using dial-on-demand, or set a long time period on -d, or they'll nail up your connection. -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
