I'm trying to understand saupdate and how to use it. I have two
questions. I'm running AIX 5.3.
Question 1:
I run the following command:
/usr/opt/perl5/bin/sa-update --nogpg -D --updatedir /tmp/update
It finishes with a return code of 1. It sounds to me like something
failed. I can't find any documentation on the return codes, so I'm not
sure where to take this. Here is the debug output:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at

EXIT CODES
An exit code of 0 means an update was available, and was
downloaded and installed successfully.
An exit code of 1 means no fresh updates were available.
An exit code of 4 or higher, indicates that errors occurred
while attempting to download and extract updates.
Question 2:
After running saupdate, I assume that all I have to do is to restart
spamd. How can I force spamd to restart and reload its rules? Can a do a
simple kill -1? Or do I need an actual kill and restart?
That is highly dependent upon how spamd is invoked.
