# This shell script is used as a "frontend" for running fetchmail. It will
# start up fetchmail and save the session to disk, generate statistics
# of the e-mail that you downloaded, and tell you how many messages
# you have in various folders. A copy of these results are also
# e-mailed to you.
#
# An rc file is also supported. If the file $HOME/.runfetchmailrc
# exists, it will be sourced. This way, you can place runfetchmail
# into /usr/local/bin, and individual users can have their own settings.
#
# Pre-requisites: You must have procmail, or at least `mailstat', a
# utility that comes with procmail, running on your system. You must
# also have `timer', a shell script written by me, if you would like the
# total time that the transfer took to be displayed.
#
# Syntax: runfetchmail [-every]
# -every Downloads all messages from the mailserver, regardless of
# their size and whether they have been previously downloaded.
#
# Changes in version 1.1: The argument "-every" is supported. I removed the
# $EXIT_CODE variable since I had problems assigning the exit code from
# fetchmail to it.
# Command line to run fetchmail
