Hrm. What platform are you on? "ps -axwg", "ps -el" ?
well, what day/time is it?
at the moment, MacOSXServer. during the day, usually an OpenSuSE or
FreeBSD box.
Anyway, you could also look at using a pid file. Tell spamd when starting "-r
/path/to/pidfile", and then you can use that to figure out who the parent is.
i had actually been specifying the PID just didn't include it in my
post), and had not thought of that.
but still, the master was missing.
anyway, i've switched to unix sockets for now -- goood enough.
and, i *see* the master with a simple "ps -ax" ... which is what i
remember the behavior as being b4.
also, with the unix sockets, the other issue i posted abt, repeating
messages of,
Wed Dec 13 18:36:13 2006 [923] dbg: prefork: periodic ping from spamd parent
Wed Dec 13 18:36:13 2006 [923] dbg: prefork: sysread(9) not ready,
wait max 300 secs
seems to have been resolved as well.
