Thanks. Resolved. I explicitly defined fetchmailrc as you did and
modified my script just a bit.
RETVAL=0
lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/fetchmail
start() {
echo -n $"Starting Fetchmail: "
/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 180 -f /etc/fetchmailrc
touch "$lockfile" && success || failure
RETVAL=$?
echo
Not sure a lock file is really necessary for fetchmail, but what the heck!
