Seems little point to run multiple copies of fetchmail or even run a daemon if you can accomplish the same task in a cron job. Maybe I am looking at this a waste of time, but maybe from an efficiency use in terms of memory, it will do. Actually I knew that >/dev/null 2>&1 was to simple and thus is why I forgot it. tnx Scott
