[fetchmail] how to start fetchmail for all users

2002-12-05 07:37:11
hi all,

I have been using fetchmail for receiving mails from my pop provider. I have 
around 30+ users for whom i recive the mails and distribute them locally. Now 
the problem that i am facing is i have a single file with all the users pop 
details written in it and i use the file in the command line  like " fetchmail 
-v -f filename" . The problem with this is when one mail box is recieving a big 
attachment the other priority users are kept in waiting. ( which of course is 
politics  :-D)

Now i would to try the other way of running multiple demons of fetchmail for 
all users at a time. Here I have a confusion about how to start this multiple 
instances of fetchmail for all users at a time when I start the server. ( I 
know the each instance of fetchmail has to be started in the same users login). 
Can anyone advise me on this please ?


regards
