Re: fetchmail at login
I want a program to start automatically each time I login into my account. In which initializing file should I write the name of the program? You could add the command to your .bashrc file, it will be executed after you login. Might be better to add it to his .bash_profile, unless he's got .bash_profile set up to read .bashrc (which, I believe, is not the default in Debian).

Can't check right now, but IIRC one of them sources the other. Still, you are probably right. Best Regards, fsm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
Re: fetchmail at login
You may benefit from also checking out getmail. It's simpler, cleaner and may be less prone to dropping mail (a fact advertised by the author of getmail). I find it works really well, particularly when combined with wmbiff. Wmbiff can be set up to execute getmail whenever its polling detects mail arriving at the server. Since I live in X this works better for me than starting it at login time. I also like that it's written in Python, and therefore theoretically easy to modify.
