fetchmail problem

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

You don't need a cron job to periodically run fetchmail.  To run every 2
hours, you can put a line that says:

set daemon 7200

This is presuming you don't need to do anything else (e.g. dial the system
in).  but I guess that if you didn't have to do that, you'd check for mail
a lot more often.  I set it to check every 5 minutes.  Doesn't matter if
we're offline, the check just fails and life goes on.

Geoff.
