If you install "Life with qmail"'s "qmail" script--which uses DJB's daemontools--restarting qmail is done by: qmail restart The complete set of commands is: stop -- stops mail service (smtp connections refused, nothing goes out) start -- starts mail service (smtp connection accepted, mail can go out) pause -- temporarily stops mail service (connections accepted, nothing leaves) cont -- continues paused mail service stat -- displays status of mail service cdb -- rebuild the tcpcontrol cdb file for smtp restart -- stops and restarts smtp, sends qmail-send a TERM restarts it doqueue -- sends qmail-send ALRM, scheduling queued messages for delivery reload -- sends qmail-send HUP, rereading locals and virtualdomains queue -- shows status of queue alrm -- same as doqueue hup -- same as reload I've been calling `ps waux |grep qmail', then `kill -9' on qmails pid then calling (using bash) `/var/qmail/rc ' (From the doc/INSTALL document). Seems a little cumbersom. Yeah, and dangerous, too. A plain "kill" (no -9) on the qmail-send process is much safer. -Dave

I have caught myself about to type that quite a few times.

Are you blind? It's right there in the middle of the page. It's under Section 2.8 "Start qmail". --Adam On Fri, Jul 28, 2000 at 09:39:45AM -0700, Harry Putnam wrote: Dave Sill [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Harry Putnam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a one move handy way to restart qmail?

It assumes a qmail installation compatible with the installation instructions provided in LWQ, section 2. For most newbies, it'd be easier to reinstall following LWQ than to retrofit the script onto an existing installation. -Dave
