Hi all
I'm currently running fetchmail as a user with a .fetchmailrc from the user's home 
directory and it seems to work fine. What I really do want is to run it as a service 
or daemon at boot time without any user intervention i.e without logging in to the 
machine at all. In effect I want the fetchmailrc file to be system-wide. 

So  I made a copy of the .fetchmailrc file and placed it in the /etc directory 
(/etc/fetchmailrc) and  later run fetchmail with the -d option from 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local. But this hasn't worked even though in principle I think it should. 
It seems to me that I'm missing a few tricks and that I'm not too far away from  
getting it right. Does anyone know if this is possible and has anyone tried it? Any 
tricks or tips from anyone would be very much appreciated.
