[fetchmail-users] Script to check all user accounts

[Net C. <net...@gm...>]

Is there any script available which will check for the presence of
.fetchmailrc in all the user home directories (around 100) and then run
fetchmail for multiple users simultaneoulsy to retrieve their mail from the
remote server and deliver it to the local MTA.

Thanks,

I've a vague memory somebody posted something to the list a while
back.  If there isn't anything I could probably knock something out
over the weekend - it's not terribly complicated.

Check the start script Simon Barner wrote for the FreeBSD port - it
relies on FreeBSD's rcNG (rc_subr) though.
