Courier uses generic daemons, but looking at their command line and environment you may learn the current status. For example, on a typical Linux system, if nnn is the process number delivered by netstat, you can read that data like so: $ echo $(</proc/nnn/cmdline) $ tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/nnn/environ |less hth -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
