I have a live server running qmail. but svscan (services) do not start
automatically esp. after shutdown.
I set up a spare box whose svscan(services) start pretty well.
What could be missing on the first box .
the references are as below for the live server.
Svscan script ;
echo "Starting supervise to monitor processes under /var/service"
csh -cf '/usr/local/bin/svscan /var/service &'
echo "Started supervise"
ls -al /var/service/

Is there something being missed ?
