The 'Check Server' Command exists in WebMin.  What would be the syntax for cron job?

	By default, fetchmail runs once and exits.  I haven't a clue where a
	"Check Servers" command sits in relation to fetchmail.  Exchange
	certainly won't trigger a fetchmail polling cycle.
	
	man fetchmail
	
	Look at the daemon mode.  Also consider putting fetchmail in cron.
	
	Also look in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail-<version> for some online doc and
	FAQ.
