The set daemon 900 option does exactly this, only from .fetchmailrc. Running fetchmail from the command line without any flags executes the options specified in .fetchmailrc. Why am I doing all this? Because after a reboot or shutdown now I always forget to run fetchmail and realize it only when I see that no new mail has arrived for 2 days. My fault I believe :) regards -- Andreas "ant" Ntaflos ntaflos.andreas@gmx.net Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
