I think the problem is related to the way ps displays the process.  Even 
though courierlogger (the parent process) is located in 
/usr/local/sbin/courierlogger, ps displays it like this:


21842  p2  S  0:00.00 [courierlogger]

Why does ps display the process like this instead of displaying the full 
path?

Because the command was in the search path and was invoked as 
"courierlogger" :)?
