I think I get that.  But, I tend not to do anything on the command line, (I forget various syntax, etc).  About all I would do is fetchmail --quit and then restart.

So, if I do that, assuming I have not touched anything since last cold start, anything in the config file should be in effect?.

My startup script is in (being SUSE) /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S97fetcmail (and /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S97etchmnail, symbolic links, actually).

Is there any way to make those (that) read the config file, instead of using what is entered there?  Without a major re-write.  Or should I just be content with having hacked about to make them have the same values?  As far as I can tell.
