Hello, just a suggestion. Below is an example how freshly started 3 Postfix instances looks in process list (I'm not posting ps from working system to not bloat this message):
18374 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master 18377 ? S 0:00 \_ pickup -l -t fifo -u -c -o content_filter= -o receive_override_options= 18378 ? S 0:00 \_ qmgr -l -t fifo -u -c 18455 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master 18458 ? S 0:00 \_ pickup -l -t fifo -u -c -o content_filter= -o receive_override_options= 18460 ? S 0:00 \_ qmgr -l -t fifo -u -c 18535 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master 18539 ? S 0:00 \_ pickup -l -t fifo -u -c -o content_filter= -o receive_override_options= 18540 ? S 0:00 \_ qmgr -l -t fifo -u -c 3 instances are: MSA, MX and outgoing relay with fast retry for specific domains. Would it be possible to add the instance name (or group name/instance name) to the line containing master process? I mean just a decorator like this: 18535 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master postfix-mx 18539 ? S 0:00 \_ pickup -l -t fifo -u -c -o content_filter= -o receive_override_options= 18540 ? S 0:00 \_ qmgr -l -t fifo -u -c It could be a tiny aid in case of problems where time is precious. Thanks in advance and regards, Andrzej
