I think you are correct, Nate. It is very nice to look _one_ place for your periodically scheduled jobs. An interesting use of fetchmail for a user might be to start the daemon on login and kill it on logout, or start when the net connection comes up and kill it when it goes down. >>> nate at techie.com 08/01/01 08:50PM >>> On Wed, Aug 01, 2001 at 08:17:21PM -0500, johndmiller wrote: > I have my Fetchmail running as a demon.

The UNIX way says cron is the periodic scheduler, let cron do that kind of work. Fetchmail is just a mail fetcher, let fetchmail do that.
