.fetchmailrc file with the password will NOT expose the password to ps
or anything else that I know of. I have been unig it for over a year

Is there anyway you can specify the password

that goes out like every 10 minutes and check
my mail, i suppose i have to do that with crontab,
but to do that i have to specify the whole command
line including the pass

Thanks in advance,
