1)
Ok, this is what I did before the new fetchmail policy (starting at boot
time) came up. I think I will insert
fetchmail -q
anywhere in my ip-up.d script. I thought I will give it at try but it
seems that there is no easy solution. Maybe the fetchmail maintainer
intended it for simple ppp devices that get deleted when the ppp link
goes down. Of course this does not work for me, since my IPPP device
hangs around the whole time (at boot time).
2)
The monitor option lets you monitor an interface for activity to prevent
fetchmail keeping an link open the whole time. I don't think that this
is useful for me.
Thanks a lot.
