All-
I'm new to Qmail and installing it for the first time. I have a 'server'
install RedHat 6.2 linux box.
I have read everything I could find but have run into a glitch. I am
installing exactly like the "Life with qmail" document says to and am at
step 2.7. I went to test the build by following the instructions at
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html#boot . Well, I added the line it
said to to the end of my initab which looks like this:
#
# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have
networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:
# System initialization.

When I do a "kill -HUP 1" then ps all I get is
[root@skip daemontools-0.70]# ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
10732 pts/1 00:00:00 su
10733 pts/1 00:00:00 bash
13992 pts/1 00:00:00 ps
I am new to this, please help me if you can see what I did wrong. I followed
the instructions precisesly so I'm not sure what went wrong. Or maybe it
worked and I'm not seeing something...
Thanks
Matt
