It means "run fetchmail as a daemon, and check for new mail every hour"
(an hour being 3660 seconds).

Any of:

killall fetchmail
ps aux | grep fetchmail | cut -b10-14 - | xargs -l1 kill
fetchmail -q

.. will work, so long as you have permission to kill the process (i.e.,
if you started it as root, you need to be root to kill it).
