Which distribution are you using?
I am running Fedora Core 2 and have SA 3.0.2 installed by rpm. I only have SSH access to this box. No keyboard or monitor on it.
If it's RedHat or Mandrake, for example, you're not starting it correctly. For them there is an /etc/init.d aka /etc/rc.d/init.d entry for starting and stopping spamd using the "service" script as with "service spamassassin restart".
None on mine.
Otherwise you have to use kill and the command below.
So:
/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5 -r /var/run/spamd.pid
Do I need to invoke it like that so I can kill it?
Thanks.
Matt
I start SPAMD like so in rc.local.
/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
