Have removed it. The whole spamassassin thing seems broken right now. How do I tell if locate script actually had run on today's startup? >Forgive me if I'm off base here, but what if the sa-update background >job takes longer than 30(s ?) >hy not just run 'sa-update' in the foreground ditch the 'sleep 30', you >might even save a bit of time in the long run (your way it'll sleep 30 >regardless how long 'sa-update' takes. This was originally in rc.local, foreground as you suggested. It did hang, hanging following rc.local items. Why is was taken out of there and placed as a cron.daily job. Since there is a problem with spamassassin right now, just skipping this is best until that is resolved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
