Didn't know that was allowed, I'll give it a try.

It's a good idea, but it assumes that I'll be logging in right after doing a reboot, which I won't always be doing.

Also, if I have it in my .profile, that means that fetchmail will run every time I log in. Since my machine will be getting my mail when it is up,
there is no point getting mail from my backup mail exchangers every time I login.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
