Unfortunately, the error message doesn't appear to say which log file
it's having a problem with.
I'm going to guess it's clamav, since that's being moved. I probably
need to have the clamav package remove some leftover stuff.
First, verify that clamav is logging to /var/log/maillog. If it's not,
then I wonder which clamav package you have installed.
This should fix you up:
# cd /var/qmail/supervise/clamd
# mv log log.old
I'm guessing that'll take care of things. Sorry I haven't tested the
latest package better. I hope to get to that this week.
Thanks.

You shouldn't have a /var/qmail/supervise/log directory. I think if you
simply remove it (or move it aside to /root/ perhaps) then you'll be fine.
I DIDN'T have one when the errors started. I also checked an old
snapshot of the Qmail server and it didn't have one either. Despite
that, I tried creating one to see if it would resolve the problem. No
such luck, so I removed it again.
Here's what I have in mine (COS6 with new packages):
[root@tacs-mail ~]# ls -l /var/qmail/supervise/
total 20
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Apr 7 10:24 clamd
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Mar 24 11:29 send
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Mar 24 11:29 smtp
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Apr 7 14:58 spamd
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Mar 24 11:29 submission
Yes, I have the same directories actually present:
[root@qmail ~]# ls -l /var/qmail/supervise
total 20
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Jun 30 10:00 clamd
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Mar 4 10:15 send
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Apr 11 12:13 smtp
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Jun 23 10:35 spamd
drwx-----T 4 qmaill qmail 4096 Apr 11 15:39 submission
Still getting the same error:
[root@qmail ~]# qmailctl start
Starting qmail-toaster: svscan.
[root@qmail ~]# supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
*sigh* Even though mail seems to be working, all is obviously not well
with the server. Memory stays maxed out at 8Gb and the CPU
at 100%.
Here's my qmail startup script:
[root@qmail ~]# cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail
#!/bin/sh

I must be missing something but I can't figure out what. I don't see
anything here that should be causing the problem.
I've never paid very close attention to qmailctl stat results other
than up or not, but it looks to me like maybe clamd and spamd are
repeatedly stopping and restarting? They never seem to go above a few
(less than 10) seconds.
[root@qmail ~]# qmailctl stat
clamd: up (pid 12991) 1 seconds
send: up (pid 12874) 46 seconds
smtp: up (pid 12877) 46 seconds
spamd: up (pid 12878) 46 seconds
submission: up (pid 12879) 46 seconds
clamd/log: up (pid 12873) 46 seconds
send/log: up (pid 12876) 46 seconds
smtp/log: up (pid 12872) 46 seconds
spamd/log: up (pid 12992) 0 seconds
submission/log: up (pid 12880) 46 seconds
[root@qmail ~]# supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start log/run: file does not exist
So, I have a server throwing a hissy fit and a holiday tomorrow.
Hopefully, it doesn't melt down before I find a fix.
Note for posterity, clamav and spamd are very soon to be changed to use
syslogd and initd instead of supervise and multilog. This is in
preparation for COS7, which will be using systemd, at which point
daemontools and ucscp-tcp will no longer be used by QMT.
The less custom stuff that has to be added to a system for QMT, the
better, as far as I'm concerned.
