I do not believe so. Viewing processes with 'ps' and grep'ing for
spamd yields nothing. Normally it shows something like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ps auxw | grep spamd
nobody 6899 18.6 5.5 57400 56716 ?? S 6:43PM 1:31.52 spamd child
(perl5.8.8)
nobody 7343 15.3 5.2 54220 53628 ?? S 6:51PM 0:15.46 spamd child
(perl5.8.8)
root 87623 0.0 4.7 49420 48852 ?? Ss 2:12PM 2:56.78
/usr/local/bin/spamd -m 15 -i 127.0.0.1 -p 783 -u nobody -g nobody -
After spamd is no longer active, there isn't anything displayed for
the process.
I did forget to mention I was running spamd under the nobody
user/group. However, I was having this same issue running without the
-u and -g start parameters.
