Fetchmail annoyance

[Scott Howell]

No, that will help, but if you do not want to see the output from
Fetchmail you might wish to run it in daemon mode. Of course it'll be
running as a background task all the time, but you'll not see any screen
output either. Otherwise if you run it from the commandline, just type

fetchmail >/dev/null

and that should take care of it.
