cron question

[Adam Myrow]

Fetchmail has a "-s" option for silent that you may want to use if running 
it from a cron.  According to the man page, it suppresses normal output, 
but not error messages.

As for me, I tend to call fetchmail after I've logged in and leave it 
running as a daemon.  I have a line in my .bash_logout file which kills 
off any running fetchmail.  The only problem is, if I am logged in on more 
than one console, a logout on any of them kills fetchmail.  I haven't 
bothered to figure this out yet, although I figure it can't be too hard. 
I've never even attempted to set up a system-wide fetchmail because I 
don't want my mail being pulled when I'm not near my computer.
