Re: [fetchmail]FeatureRequest: log if fetchmail run is done

Here is a feature request:

It would be good, if fetchmail would log if one fetchmail run is
done. Background: I am writing a script which goes offline as soon as
all mail was sent an recieved. Up to now I have a not existing pop
server in the last line of fetchmailrc. So I know when fetchmail has
recieved all mail, but that's not nice.

I second this request wholeheartedly. No surprise as I proposed the exact
same feature a while ago. I'd like to be able to (visually or automatically)
derive the state fetchmail from the (sys)log. Now you know when fetchmail
started but not when it finished a cycle.

It's done for 5.9.1.

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were
no religion in it.
