why don't you start fetchmail on user login (~/.profile or ~/.bashrc )?
Fetchmail is run by a user that never logs on. Then write a script that starts or checks for a fetchmail instance on successful network connection.
ping yahoo.com && fetchmail -d 300
I found a way to run after.local here:

It appears to work. However, given the number of people who rely on after.local, why wasn't it included in systemd in the same manner as boot.local is?
Because systemd doesn't support "runlevels" in the way sysvinit does. Everything is a "service" that runs as needed. Supposedly the functionality can be duplicated in a systemd service file. Oh, and the devs would rather 100's of thousands of people write their own then one dev write it and supply it to the masses. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
