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.
Paul.
For a couple of thousand users it is not a good idea. To add a cron job for each user.
Any other idea?
