Here's a script that works under RH9 for me. It's set up as a daemon
that runs every 900 seconds. If you downloaded fetchmail in the
tarball fashion it's a slight modification from the one found in the
contrib directory...
#!/bin/sh
#
# fetchmail This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# fetchmail.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 81 45
# description: The Fetchmail daemons allows to retrieve mail using
various
# mail protocols and route them to the local MTA just as if
# the mail was sent directly to the local MTA. This is
# specially useful on intermittent dial-up connections.
# processname: fetchmail
# config: /etc/fetchmailrc

if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ]
then
exit 0

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -s /etc/fetchmailrc ]; then
echo -n "Loading fetchmail: "
/usr/local/bin/fetchmail -d 900 -f /etc/fetchmailrc

killproc fetchmail
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/fetchmail
