Ok I believe the $ in the export command corrected the problem with my qmail
script. When I execute # sh -x /usr/local/sbin/qmail start I get the
following output.
+ PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
+ export /var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export: /var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin: not a legal variable
name
+ echo -n Starting qmail: svscan
Starting qmail: svscan+ cd /var/qmail/supervise
+ env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan
+ echo 23844
+ echo .
.
+ exit 0
The "not a legal variable name" on the export line still worries me. Why is
it telling me that? Is the script still not correct? All of the qmail
processes seem to be running. Below is the out from "ps-ef|grep qmail".
Aren't all the processes listed here?
root 23845 23844 0 18:04 pts/0 00:00:00 supervise qmail-send

root 14162 588 0 18:10 pts/0 00:00:00 grep qmail
Also, I am still having one major problem. Qmail does not start when the
system boots up. I have completed all the tasks in section 2.8 of LWQ. But
qmail still doesn't start on boot up. What am I doing wrong or what have I
missed?
Thank you,
Scott Wilson

Missed it by *that* much! You need a '$' in front of PATH
on your export command.
