You can call /etc/init.d/fetchmail start, /etc/init.d/fetchmail stop  and
/etc/init.d/fetchmail awaken   from the ip-* scripts if you want (in the
default config for a root fetchmail daemon, that is).

Yes. Although the new ip-up script will start fetchmail if it is not there
(or awaken one that is lurking around in the background), and will NOT
stop/kill fetchmail on ip-down by default.
