Tim,

You might try created a systemd service for it instead. E.g.

#####
[Unit]
Description=Get email

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900
#####

Save the above to `/usr/lib/systemd/system/fetchmail@.service`. You
can then use `systemctl <command> fetchmail@tim.service` to manage it
for the tim account, and similarly for any other accounts on the
system. I use something very close to this to start my SpiderOak
backup in headless mode at boot. More details at:
