131 Use this option in your script which starts as soon as a link to the internet
132 has been set up (usually ip-up).
133 When masqmail is called with this option, the specified get configuration(s)
134 is(are) read and mail will be retrieved from servers on the internet.
135 The \fIname\fR is defined in the configuration (see \fBonline_gets.\fIname\fR).

137 If called with an interval option (recognized by a digit as the first characater),
138 masqmail starts as a daemon and tries to get mail in these intervals.
139 It checks for the online status first.
140 Example: `masqmail \-go 5m' will retrieve mail every five minutes.
141
142 If called without \fIname\fR, the online status is determined with the configured method
143 (see \fBonline_detect\fR in \fBmasqmail.conf(5)\fR).
