I've walked through the lwq file and was pretty happy with my progress untill
it came to power up the program by "/etc/rc.d/qmail start" . Then a repeated
error message fills up that terminal like this :
supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
And the only way to stop is to type in the command "/etc/rc.d/qmail stop"
blindly, because I could not see the command I yped in as the creen is
flood with the error message above. After typing that, this appears:
Stopping qmail: svscan qmail logging.
When it complains on saying that log/run doesnt not exist, I am assuming it is
talking about /var/qmail/supervise/log/run as the startup script (
/etc/rc.d/qmail ) does "cd /var/qmail/supervise" at startup, effectively making
/var/qmail/supervise the root directory for anything executed in the script.
It is true log/run does not exist, but as far as lwq is concerned, it did not
need to, unless I missed something in the howto, if so, please
point out. But as far as I can see, I dont need log/run from the root
directory ( /var/qmail/supervise ) , but from qmail-send and qmail-smtpd which
already has log/run within them.
If anyone could give me an insight into this perticular problem I would be very
appreciative. Thanks in advance.

chris
