Thanks for the info, I don't get this info on the web, any link that you can
recommend to me?
Yaya, I am very new newbies :-)

I'm pretty sure there will be stuff about this under www.linuxdoc.org, failing that rootprompt.org did an article about run levels a few weeks/months back.

on the /etc/rc.d/init.d/fetchmail that I have created,
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 300

OR

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/fetchmail


when I executed both , it works fine, but when I reboot the system without
logon, fetchmail give error that "no mailserver is specified" for the first
one and prompt me for password for the second one. I am puzzle.

I am suspecting that it is not looking into the .fetchmailrc file which I
put in /root.
What should I do?

Check the error messages! I suspect you'll discover that you're being told that when run as a daemon the config file must be /etc/fetchmailrc.
