Configure fetch mail

how do i configure fetch mail to run automaticly ?

with out anyone loging in
I need some help setting up fetchmail
Well Heres what i have dones so far

I installed scalix (mail server) and setup a test user account
i want to use fetchmail to download my email from a pop3 server on the internet and deliver it to the local scalx server.
but i want it to run automaticaly and beable to do this for multipule users

I dont wnat to have to login to run fetchmail
you could do like a su "user" -c in rc.local
and put them all in there?

where would i put the config file for fetch mail

> In my /etc/rc.local I have entries like this, one per user:
su janedoe -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900"
su johndoe -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 913"
I picked different poll periods so everything doesn't happen at
once, all the time.
plust it has to run every couple mins

so could i download mail for all users w/ one user account?
you would be start daemons for each user

using their ~/.fetchmailrc
but you would be starting them all on bootup by putting it in /etc/rc.local
oh
if no ~/.fetchmailrc would use the global i assume
what rpm is pico in?

I cant find pico… I did yum provides pico | more
pico is part of pine
heatbred thanks
