Hello I installed amavisd-new 2.6.5-0ubuntu on my Ubuntu 12.04 Server with Postfix 2.9.1-4, Spamassassin 3.3.1 and ClamAV and now I am not sure how to restart it correctly.
When I do: service amavis restart I get an error: root@example:~# service amavis restart Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: The amavisd daemon is already running, PID: [4307] (failed). root@example:~# But when I kill all amavis processes manually, then I can restart amavis without the "failed": root@example:~# service amavis restart Stopping amavisd: (not running).
