Hello. I'm using pop3d and checkpassword for my pop server. When I start my
qmail with the command 'usr/local/sbin/qmail start' I
get this output through ps ax | grep qmail

 8037  p0 S    0:00 grep qmail
 8925  p0 S    0:00 tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mailp
erson
 8926  p0 S    0:00 /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d
 8928  p0 S    0:00 supervise qmail-send
 8930  p0 S    0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd
 8941  p0 S    0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
 8935  p0 S    0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd
 8940  p0 S    0:00 splogger qmail
 8943  p0 S    0:00 qmail-clean
 8942  p0 S    0:00 qmail-rspawn
 8932  p0 S    0:00 qmail-send

My var/qmail/rc looks like this
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/

My etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail has this line in it
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mailbox2.companyname.com
        /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
        /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &

Now when I stop qmail using /usr/local/sbin/qmail stop it says
Stopping qmail: svscan qmail logging.
and these process are still runnning
 8925  p0 S    0:00 tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mailp
erson
 8926  p0 S    0:00 /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d

So I kill 8925 and they both go away.

My question...I know Dave's scripts are air-tight, but why are these 2
processes hanging around?

thanks !
