[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#540245: fetchmail: it can be started without initscript

[Vladimir Stavrinov]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.9~rc2-6
Severity: normal


After recent unlucky upgrade I have started fetchmail manually with
command:

sudo -H -u fetchmail fetchmail --syslog -d 300 -f /etc/fetchmailrc -v --pidfile /var/run/fetchmail/fetchmail.pid

It is working. May be init script should be revised.
