#               GetMail - Fetchmail Daemon Controlling Script
#
#             1999 by Thomas Nesges <ThomaNesges@TNT-Computer.de>

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# GetMail starts/stops fetchmail in daemon mode and logs all actions to
# /var/log/fetchmail.log. Output is done by tailing the logfile.
#
# Sendmail/Fetchmail has to be installed, and your fetchmailrc has to be
# correctly configured. The option 'got' and 'goth' require a correctly
# installed GotMail. If you didn't install it in /usr/local/gotmail you 
# must change the path given.
#
# If you have any changes/corrections in the script, please send me email.
