Fetchmail is a binary (executable), not a shell script. So you can't run it like that. You probably want a helper script that will execute fetchmail for you. In many cases you'll need to specify options on the command line anyway. For example, write a script called "my-fetchmail-script": #!/bin/sh fetchmail --some-option --some-other-option and run "my-fetchmail-script" from cron.
Ok. That works. Thanks Tim. Funny why cron behaves like that, does that mean I would have to make a helper script to run any other command I would want (as opposed to calling them directly)? -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end.
