Hello: Use /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -d 60 -f /root/.fetchmailrc Also, do a chmod 0600 /root/.fetchmailrc From the man page, -f <pathname>, --fetchmailrc <pathname> Specify a non-default name for the .fetchmailrc run control file. The pathname argument must be either "-" (a single dash, meaning to read the configura- tion from standard input) or a filename. Unless the --version option is also on, a named file argu- ment must have permissions no more open than 0600 (u=rw,g=,o=) or else be /dev/null.
