Oops, sorry! I adapted it from something we use with CanIt, and forgot that the mimedefang init script doesn't have a status.
Anyway, if you know shell programming, you should be able to detect if mimedefang is running by checking the return status of:
kill -0 `cat /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid`
and similarly for the multiplexor.
I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader. :-)
This is why I had you add the "foreground" flag to progs as AIX's resource controller will do exactly all that... so no user "tracking" is required.. just startsrc -s mimedefang and stopsrc -s mimedefang.
You all just need to switch to AIX... That would solve all your problems!
