I am new to the *nix side of scripting. How can you check to see if the file changed or not? Is it by timestamp or some type of comparison?

Yes. That should work. I check every 15 minutes and see if my map has changed. If it has then I save a copy and update the map. When a map gets updated it puts an exclusive lock on the table and causes all mail processing for processes requiring access to that table to stop until the lock is released. I'm not sure if it stops and restarts the smtpd processes. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Grant Griffith > Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 8:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [IMGate] transport.map auto updated. >=20 > Hello All, >=20 > I updated a script that was running hourly to update the relay > recipients to also update the transport.map database and it caused some > issues.
