Chris,
Edit your:
/etc/init.d/network
or
/etc/init.d/networking
(depending on distribution), and add:
fetchmail -d 300 -f /etc/.fetchmailrc
to that script. This will execute fetchmail with the settings defined
in /etc/.fetchmailrc every 300 seconds.
That is how I have been running fetchmail for the past 8 years, and
I've never had a problem.
Good luck,
Steve
