I have a script at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh that has this command /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -d 60 After the system is up I can run this script and fetchmail starts. At boot time I see a console message that says this script is being executed, but it results in a message being displayed saying 'No mail servers have been specified'. This sounds like at boot time it can not find the /root/.fetchmailrc file. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
