fetchmail isn't supposed to start at bootup. You can however stick it in
your crontab. I put it in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local (with su, of course).
Here's my ip-up.local:
#!/bin/bash
echo ""|mail satyap@localhost -s "ip-up.local"
/bin/su satyap -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail" >>/home/satyap/fetchmail.log
sendmail -q -vvvvvv -d1000
/bin/su satyap -c "/home/satyap/myip-update-1.1/MOC.pl">/dev/tty24 &
/bin/su satyap -c "/home/satyap/perl/cjbnet/cjbnet.pl hal9k \
[PASSWORD]">/dev/tty24 &
#/bin/su satyap -c "/bin/sh /home/satyap/dnet/fl/flush" |mail \
satyap@localhost
/bin/su root -c "/usr/local/sbin/fetchnews -vvv" >/dev/tty24
sleep 5
/var/spool/slrnpull/slrnpull.sh
sleep 10
if [ -e /root/ppp-blit.lck ]; then
rm -f /root/ppp-blit.lck
ifdown ppp0
ifdown ppp1
echo ""|mail satyap@localhost -s "Finished blitting"
fi
exit 0
PS: Fix your line length.
PPS: Snip out irreleveant footers and replies!
