I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a way to run fetchmail from a cygrunsrv service without putting your mail account password in your .fetchmailrc. Based on some info in the mailing list I tried
cygrunsrv --install fetchmail --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --args "--daemon 300 --nodetach" --env HOME=/home/user --termsig TERM --user 'domain\user' --shutdown When I run fetchmail -d 300 from the command line it interactively asks for the password, so I don't need to keep it in the file; however if I log out then the daemon stops running. I thought about having the service start manually in interactive mode but that seems to require that the service be run as the local system account, not as me. Any suggestions for starting this without requiring that I put the password in the args (which ends up as plaintext in the registry) or in my .fetchmailrc?
