It's reasonable to create a fetchmail.sh script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which does something like: #!/bin/sh USER = me COMMAND = /usr/local/bin/fetchmail... su - ${USER} -c ${COMMAND} In this case, however, you might want to invoke it from a per-user cron script eievery hour or so instead... -- -Chuck
