Hello I have two Postfix instances with configuration folders :
/etc/postfix /etc/postfix-second I start both instances by issuing the following commands : postfix -c /etc/postfix start postfix -c /etc/postfix-second start I'm about to write a start/stop script for both instances,but I have a problem because both of them using the following executable file : /usr/lib/postfix/master so when I type something like : home:/etc/rc.d # pgrep -u root master 29967 1567 I got both instances pid files : lsof -p 1567|grep pid master 1567 root 9uW REG 8,7 33 67550 /var/spool/postfix-second/pid/master.pid home:/etc/rc.d # lsof -p 29967|grep pid master 29967 root 9uW REG 8,7 33 83715 /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid Is there any Postfix way of uniquely distinguish between running multiply instances of Postfix ? Or maybe some configurable option how to name the 'master' process ,like 'master-second' ,'master-third' ,thus be able to uniquely distinguish between them ? Sincerely Dragan Zubac
