Warr,
Check the top line of the qmail file. It will name a program to be run
to process the qmail script. Check to make sure that this program
exists on your
system and is runnable.
For example, if the program is named as:
#!/bin/sh
Make sure that /bin/bash exists and is runnable on your system.
Linux will report "no such file or directory" for a script which names
an
interpreter which does not exist or is not runnable. It's cryptic, I
know.
Someone should fix it :) ...
Best wishes,
Bryan
