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.
