Many thanks for all the replies, which all seem positive.However, we have been seeing problems with restarting the daemon recently, which is why I am wary about starting to run RDJ from cron. In trying to restart spamassassin, on a fedora core 4 and core 3 system, we see: /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart Shutting down spamd: [ OK ] Starting spamd: Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use (IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use) [FAILED] It seems that a single child procees is left running: ps auxww|grep -i spamd mail 4156 0.0 2.7 61532 57152 ? S 17:28 0:00 spamd child root 4169 0.0 0.0 3756 736 pts/1 S+ 17:28 0:00 grep -i spamd If we run 'restart' again then it works okay. If we do a stop and then a start, that too works okay.
Hi John, Maybe try changing your SA_RESTART to "killall -HUP spamd". I think spamd will correctly reload configuration files with a HUP signal. Chris Thielen PS. two copies of this email may appear. I accidentally sent the first from a non-subscribed address. PPS. I also just found out I have an open proxy on my mail server (fixed). naughty naughty me :)
