I use FreeBSD, so mine starts with my rc.d startup. You could always start
the daemon with /etc/rc.local I guess...
You want spamd to deamonize, not run per-instance. Inetd is a bad choice.
Run it as a daemon at startup, and then make a script like below which you
use crontab to run every 5-10 minutes to make sure spamd's still
running...
Here's mine, and it has some other stuff like how I log it, and my paths
which are going to be different than yours.
------- START SHELL SCRIPT ------------
#!/bin/sh
today=`date +"%b.%d.%Y"`
time=`date +"%H:%M.%S"`
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin/scripts
# CHECK FOR LOG FILE
if [ -f /var/log/monitor.log ] ; then
fakeflag="pass"
else
touch /var/log/monitor.log
fi
#CHECK TO SEE IF SPAMD RECENTLY FAILED
count="0"
count=`cat /var/log/maillog | tail -50 | grep -c "to spamd at 127.0.0.1
failed"`
if test "$count" = "0"; then
needrestart="no"
else
needrestart="yes"
echo "$today.$time SPAMD : Down : RESTARTED" >> /var/log/monitor.log
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamd.sh restart
fi
exit
