I'm not sure if this works under bo, but the hamm s-s-d help gives:

	start-stop-daemon -S|--start options ... -- arguments ...

So,
	start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/fetchmail -- -d 300
is the way to startup 'fetchmail -d 300'.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
