Great I am almost there! A cpuple more things ...
How do I get it to start on boot? The same way with
chkconfig spamd on ?
and
The STOP fails ..
# service spamd start
Starting SpamAssassin daemon:
# service spamd stop
Stopping SpamAssassin daemon: cat: /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid: No such
file or directory
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] [pid |
job]... or
kill -l [sigspec]
The script tries to record the pid in /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid. If
the directory doesn't exist (or isn't writable), it fails.
What you need to do is create the directory and chown it to the user
spamd runs as.
For example (assuming your spamd user is 'spamscan'):
mkdir /var/run/spamd
chown spamscan /var/run/spamd
The chkconfig information is already in the file. To get it to run at
startup, simply do this:
chkconfig --add spamd
This will cause it to start in runlevels 2-5. To change the runlevel
settings, take a look at the man page for chkconfig. It's very easy
to use.
