Running mail server on FC3 - sendmail+cyrus. Some user want to fetch mail from other servers so I have provided then fetchmail functionality. The question is how to run fetchmail as a daemon for all users at server startup?
For now every user is responsible to run fetchmail -d xxx manually but if server went down for some reason then they need again manually to start it up.
An alternative would be for each user to set a cron job (see "man crontab" and "man 5 crontab") that called fetchmail periodically instead of using "fetchmail -d ...".
This would run at the specified times whenever the server was up, needing no user interaction once it was set up.
