Thanks Mark. Just the advise that was needed. Turns out that my script in init.d/ couldn't find its pid and so didn't known how to shut anything down. I had to use kill pid commands from the ps listing. But when it restarted, the archive runner started up with the rest of them and the archives I was watching got populated with a few tests.
I think I'm in business here. Thanks for the help. -- Hugh On Sun, 29 Apr 2007 17:01:41 -0700 Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hugh Esco wrote: > > > >The moderation que appropriately snags unauthorized mail.
