I would like to parse my mail log to seen when the last time was fethcmail
fetched mail. But the syslog does not show the end of cycle when running in
daemon mode. To make things easier: wouldn't it be nice when a message like
Jun 27 00:53:16 mailhost fetchmail[20254]: finished for now
could be found in the log?
Yes, but on the other hand I don't want to make the logging too verbose.
Right now fetchmail tries to avoid logging anything but exception and error
conditions unless -v (verbose) is on. Hiave you considered psarsing the
-v output?

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to
liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses
in return for protection to his own.
