Summary: [patch] init.d spamassassin restart kills wrong process
and fails
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging: RPM
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Sometimes "service spamassassin stop" fails on distros like Fedora because
killproc returns before spamd is fully dead.
service spamassassin restart
Shutting down spamd: [ OK ]
Starting spamd: Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address
already
in use (IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use) [FAILED]
This happens in instances where PPID wraparound happened. It tried to kill the
first process named spamd, which is no longer the parent process, and thus
causes this failure. Patch forthcoming target trunk, 3.1.1 and 3.0.5.
