Re: Running fetchmail at login time



Yes, use .bash_profile.

When you invoke fetchmail, if it is already running as a daemon it
will simply wake the daemon process and cause it to check at that
time.  Then in your .bash_logout file put "fetchmail --kill" to
terminate the daemon when you logout.  (Unless you want to to run all
the time)
