Fetchmail


Hello everyone. I recently switched my email server from Mandriva 10.0 to CentOS 4.2. I'm happy with the switch but one thing is really bugging me. Mandriva had a fetchmail-daemon package that automatically started fetchmail. The config file was in /etc and was easy to setup for all my users. Now CentOS uses a ~./fetchmailrc file to handle my pop3 fetches. If I restart the server for any reason, I have to manually start each users fetchmail to get it going. I'm I missing something. Is there a cron job or something that will handle all of that for me? My scripting skills is lacking and I really haven't tackled it myself. Just seems to me there has to be a better way. Thanks for any input.
