-Fetchmail is started using {{{launchd}}} which is controlled by the attached [attachment:org.macports.fetchmail.plist].
+Fetchmail is started using {{{launchd}}} which is controlled by macport's fetchmail installed {{{/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.fetchmail/org.macports.fetchmail.plist}}}

 "Note:"
  * (As of Jun 2014), the .plist uses a wrapper that denotes the fetchmailrc file as /opt/local/etc/.fetchmail so unless you want to edit this file, create a link
 {{{
 sudo ln -s /opt/local/etc/fetchmail /opt/local/etc/.fetchmail
 }}}
- * (As of Jun 2014), fetchmail.wrapper must be edited and the -d120 removed
+ * (As of Jun 2014), change fetchmail.wrapper such that the Start() looks like the below.
 {{{
 sudo vi /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.fetchmail/fetchmail.wrapper 
 }}}
+{{{
+Start()$
+{$
+     /opt/local/bin/fetchmail -f /opt/local/etc/.fetchmail --daemon=1200 --nodetach$
+}$

 * (As of Jun 2014), org.macports.fetchmail.plist must be edited and these 2 lines added before the </dict></plist>

-"Note:"
-This setup currently only runs once at startup; it does not try to poll every so often.  Trying to have fetchmail detach will cause it to crash.
-  
 
 The attached [attachment:Restart_Fetchmail.command] command will stop and restart fetchmail which forces a re-read of the configuration files and triggers an immediate mail collection - quite helpful while debugging the system.
