depends on your OS...i am using OpenBSD so mine is located at
/etc/rc.local. for redhat, there is a script that came with qmail called
svscan. I was able to put it in my /etc/rc.d/init.d. it can be stopped,
started, or restarted by invoking /etc/rc.d/init.d/svscan
stop|start|restart. check you OS' documentation as to where your system
scripts (if you are familiar with DOS, system scripts are DOS' autoexec.bat
and config.sys) are located

Subject: qmail pop3d
Where do I put the startup commands for qmail pop3d? All the HOWTOs,
which are excellent on all other aspects, just say, oh stick in a line
that says:
tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
I've tried putting in in /var/qmail/rc,
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run and running it from a command line,
but the only one that works is the third option (which is obviously
unsatisfactory).
I realize this is a pretty newbie question, and thank you in advance for
your help.
