Don't know about user startup dirs. You could do what I did for running rc5des as a user: idprio 31 nice -20 su ludwigp -c /home/ludwigp/bovine/rc5des (stick this into a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d or somewhere in rc.local) fetchmail, however, is a good candidate for a user crontab entry, where each user can have their own cron jobs. >crontab -e PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin HOME=/home/ludwigp #minute hour mday month wday command 0 3 * * * fetchmail -s -L $HOME/.fetchmaillog To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
