starting fetchmail daemon at boot ?

[pdc124]

so i can retrieve my POP mail with fetchmail and a ~/.fetchmailrc file with a --set daemon 180

how do I ensure the daemin is started on a reboot ?

The lazy way is to add your start-up commands to the bottom of rc.local

I'm still having a problem. Fetchmail is not starting at boot.

Here the line in my /etc/rc.local

fetchmail -d 60 -f /etc/fetchmailrc

When I run this from the terminal I get:

File /etc/fetchmailrc must be owned by you.

Here's ls -l /etc/fetchmailrc:

-rw------- 1 fetchmail root 3416 2011-10-17 22:36 /etc/fetchmailrc

So I have an identical copy in /root. Here's what ls -l /root/fetchmailrc looks like:

-rw------- 1 root root 3416 2011-10-17 22:36 /root/fetchmailrc

But I don't want to run this from a terminal anyway. I want it to start at boot.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
