Fetchmail with -d deamonizes, if your using with -d you don't need cron.
If you want to start a deamon at boot you need to get/make/use a service
file.

Otherwise see "man -S5 crontab" for crontab file format and simply run
"crontab -e" to edit your crontab for the current user (root in this
case).
