I've gotten fetchmail to work as a daemon, but I don't think this means it 
gets restarted when the machine reboots or keep going when you logout or 
even that it restarts itself it it dies for some reason.

I'm new to linux sysadmin and I'm just wondering what is the "proper" way of 
getting fetchmail to always be up and running as a deamon. If it to ask each 
user to make a cron job or is there some way I can do this as root and have 
fetchmail run system wide for each user?
