In configuring the rules_du_jour script for rule updates, I am a bit concerned over my interpretation of the SA_RESTART parameter. It sounds like it is a call to the routine to "stop and then re-start" the spamd daemon. But the rules_du_jour example "kills" the spamd process with killall (ie no restart).

For this parameter, should one instruct the script to "stop" the process or "stop and then restart" the process?

I would normally do these via the sample scripts provided with SpamAssassin such as

/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamd stop

or

/etc/rc.d/init/d/spamd restart
