I have a pid file running with my SA. It is a very minor hack to the /etc/init.d/spamd file. Look for the two lines that reference /var/run/spamd.pid and add them to your spamd (or spamassassin) init file.
case "$1" in start) # Start daemon. echo -n "Starting spamd: " daemon spamd $OPTIONS RETVAL=$? echo echo `pidof spamd` > /var/run/spamd.pid [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/spamd ;; stop) # Stop daemons. echo -n "Shutting down spamd: " killproc spamd RETVAL=$? echo rm -f /var/run/spamd.pid 2&>/dev/nul [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/spamd ;; -Michael >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/17/03 08:57AM >>> Sorry if this has already been broached, but this seems like it would be a great idea and not too difficult to implement (but I could be way off): 1) Have spamd re-read local.cf when it receives a HUP signal, rather that having to be stopped and restarted 2) Whether the #1 is doable or not, writing the PID of the parent spamd process to a file ( var/run/spamd.pid ?). Either way, it makes writing scripts for the local.cf alot easier. James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
