So, I would like to remove the limitation of only one fetchmail process per
system user. The only negative effect I can see is opening up the
possibility of more than one connection to a POP3 server, using the same
user name. fetchmail wouldn't be able to completely close this possibility
anyway, plus any self-respecting POP3 server should be prepared to deal any
such attempts.
Are there any other repercussions I should be aware of? If not, clues on
where to look to make sure all checks are removed would be appreciated, as
I'm on a tight deadline to get this working.
Your launcher can always just remove the lockfile after spaening fetchmail.
