If it is running, you will find its pid in data/master-qrunner.pid and there will also be two files in locks/, one named master-qrunner and containing the line master-qrunner.host.example.com.pid And the second named master-qrunner.host.example.com.pid and having the same contents where host.example.com is the actual host name and pid is the actual pid of the master qrunner process. Thus there are three files that if present will give you the pid of the master qrunner. Of course, if it died a horrible death, the files might be left behind, so you also have to check if the pid is running and is a mailmanctl process. If the files are missing or the pid doesn't exist or is not a python process invoked with a mailmanctl command, then the master qrunner isn't running. > Is there a way to start it automatically if it is not? You can test all of that in a fairly simple shell script which will run bin/mailmanctl -s -q start if the master isn't running and then execute that shell script every 5 or 10 minutes with cron. Or you can just run bin/mailmanctl start periodically with cron, but that will generate an error each time it is done with the master already running. And don't do bin/mailmanctl -s start without testing first or you'll start multiple masters and qrunners. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
