You'll see that if you happen to try a restart while a message is being processed and the scan doesn't complete within the time the init script is willing to wait. That reports FAILED because the process is still there. Then the restart doesn't start another copy, and sees the old one, and reports OK. Then the running SA exits when the scan of the current message finishes. I hacked mine to wait, but I don't have it handy right at the moment, sorry. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered. -- Lyndon B.
