You're welcome, as is everyone else who's taken the time to thank me
for it. (I don't always have the time to "welcome" everyone who thanks
me.)

The LWQ "qmail" script is designed to be plugged into the run-level
startup/shutdown script directories (.../rcN.d), and well-behaved
scripts, when run with the "stop" parameter, are supposed to kill off
*all* of their processes.

Just add additional tags to the "case" statement, e.g.:
stop-smtpd)
echo -n "Stopping qmail-smtpd: "
svc -d /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd
echo "done."
;;
start-smtpd)
echo -n "Starting qmail-smtpd: "
svc -u /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd
echo "done."
;;
-Dave
