Well, years ago (more than 10?) I did run fetchmail as a daemon but it
would sometimes hang or just die leaving my dovecot inbox silent for
days before I would know something was wrong. I couldn't figure out
where the issue was so cron was the work-around.

You make a good point however and get me thinking... I should change my
setup to fetchmail as a daemon again (a lot changes with software overa
a couple years) and perhaps monitor the status with SMS.

This still leaves the question however, is there a way to disable the
elogind messages in syslog? It seems like a lot of useless chatter in
the syslogs.

Thanks
