4th star = month
5th star = day of week
So if you would like to run fetchmail at 03:00 PM as an user, you would
do:
1/ "crontab -e" on the commandline
2/ enter: * 15 * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail
But, another thing: Are you online constantly? You don't need to connect
to your ISP prior to executing fetchmail?
