What to do instead of using rc.local?

Hi,

For the last umpteen years, I did this in /etc/rc.local:

  su tim -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900"

And likewise, for several other users, but with different time periods
to minimise overlaps.

But that won't work, anymore.  The log returns:

  rc.local: fetchmail: open: /home/tim/.fetchmailrc: Permission denied

My /home/tim permissions always were, and always will be:

  drwx------. 24 tim    tim     4096 Jul 10 21:23 tim

I won't be making the permissions more permissive.

So, how do I do something equivalent?  (That auto-starts the fetchmail
daemon going any time the server is booted, and doesn't require the
user to log on.)
