Patch to alter the fetch interval

Depending on the time of day and week; I change the fetch interval of the
fetchmail daemon, using cron.  For example:

[/etc/init.d] # crontab -l
........
00 07 * * 1-5   /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart 600
00 08 * * 1-5   /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart 120
00 18 * * 1-5   /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart 600
00 23 * * 1-5   /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart 3600

Unfortenately this was not possible with the current fetchmail boot script.

A small change to the script made it possible to accomplish this.

I'll attach the patch.  Hopefully this small patch can be incorperated in the
fetchmail rpm that openSUSE provides.
