RE: How to shut down

[Sander Holthaus - Orange XL]

That might be a little overkill though it does the job ;-)   Stopping running things on *nix platforms is generally done by killing them, along with their children. "man kill" will teach you how. Programs that start when during boot usually have special scripts to both start and stop them, your best option is to use them. Where they live depends on your platform and distribution, use the supplied documentation, the man command and google to find out exactly where. If you don't want it to run at all at bootup, disable the script (various ways of doing that).   Kind Regards, Sander Holthaus   PS: Never turn on things for which you don't know how to turn them off.   From: Chris Santerre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 7:19 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: RE: How to shut down Unplug the power to the server.   If that fails, I assume you would need to contact the person that set it up. You sysadmin could allow all your email to come thru without being scanned.   I hope that helps,   Thinking of you,   Tom Cruise -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 12:48 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: How to shut down How to shut down the spamassassin? so it doesnt run ??
