Re: [fetchmail] [PATCH] daemon restart

fetchmail kills itself in daemon mode if it has been invoked with -q
when the rcfile is modified.

$ fetchmail -q -d 300 -f rcfile
$ touch rcfile
$ fetchmail

Here, the awakened fetchmail finds that the rcfile is modified,
reexecutes itself, and then kills itself in quitmode.

This patch should fix the problem:

The easy solution (that actually removes code) would be to make -q
exclusive on the command line.
