fetching queued mail

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all.

I recently switched over to using daemon tools with qmail to start it up, which is now the recommended way of doing so.

It runs in /etc/inittab. This however, poses a problem since I fetch queued mail for my domain in /etc/rc.d/rc.local under slackware, and that seems to run before my qmail starts up in /etc/inittab.

This means that I need to run fetchmail by hand after logging in. As long as I'm here, that's all right I guess. However, it would be good to automate the process once more, especially if there might be somebody here rebooting my machine when I'm away, and if that person is not familiar with GNU/Linux.

Does anybody have any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Greg
