One possability. If your systems runs everything in /etc/init.d on startup, you would end up running /etc/init.d/spamd start twice. That might cause problems. Most systems don't run scripts in /etc/init.d directly, but instead run whatever is found in other directories such as /etc/rc2.d, where the files in those directories are usually links to the files in /etc/init.d. If a link to /etc/init.d/spamd is found in the correct directory, it will be run again by the startup system. > > You may ask/answer me off list too (I'm on the digest only anyway). > Thank you in advance, > > Martin Maechler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://stat.ethz.ch/~maechler/ Tom schulz Applied Dynamics Intl.
