Fetchmail in daemon mode should reload ~/.netrc when changed, as it does with ~/.fetchmailrc
I know that modifying (or touching) ~/.fetchmailrc forces fetchmail (daemon mode) to restart and reload it. This is useful and intuitive, so I had assumed that the same happens when ~/.netrc is changed.
However, I have a ~/.netrc which is a symbolic link to ~/.authinfo, and apparently modifying ~/.authinfo does not force fetchmail to reread it. I have to kill the fetchmail daemon and restart it to read the new data.
I think that fetchmail should reload ~/.netrc when changed, the same way it does with ~/.fetchmailrc
