| I was wondering if someone could explain exactly what is
| happening when i issue a ps aux | grep "qmaild"...here is the output
| for your examination:
|
| qmaild 196 0.0 0.6 828 208 ? S Dec 8 8:17
| /usr/local/bin/tcpser
| qmaild 24056 0.2 0.6 824 216 ? S 13:51 0:00
| /var/qmail/bin/qmail-
| qmaild 24069 0.2 0.6 824 212 ? S 13:51 0:00
| /var/qmail/bin/qmail-
|
| I see the initial qmaild which was started when the system was last
| booted, are the additional qmaild processes being spawned from
| messages being sent and received by my linux box? <blink>...
Uh. qmaild is the user. There are no "qmaild processes". What you
see is the initial tcpserver plus, most likely, to qmail-smtpd
processes spawned by that tcpserver process, which means two emails
are in the process of being received. In other words, business as
usual. (Use ps auxw (or even auxww) to see more details from ps.)
