I'm working on the ACF for fetchmail.  I'm looking for opinions (or a consensus) on how to run fetchmail.  Should it be run as a cron job (in which case, we'll have to decide how to manage cron) or as a daemon (in which case we'll have to create an init.d script)?  Ideas?  Thanks.

Ted

Looking closer, its a bug really, since there should really be an init.d
script. good catch.

I suggest we use the init.d script since its easier to handle this
service like other services. (think enable/disable, is it running? etc) 

It will be included in the upcomming alpine-1.7.21 beta1 release.

Thanks!
