/Hiram,
If you are going to administer a Unix system you need to know the basics
of paths and shells. If you look -CLOSELY- at what Jim wrote you will
see that it is not the same as what you did.
You did:
spamassassin restart
Jim said:
./spamassassin restart
Note that "./" at the beginning of the command that Jim told you to use.
If you do not understand the importance of that "./" then you need to do
some reading to learn about it or you will have problems with more than
just Spamassasin.
When first encountering Unix little details like that one are easy to
overlook and and get confusing unexpected results. Once you learn those
important basic concepts life is easier.
Good luck and understanding.
Hi Jim!
Yep, that's exactly what I meant, I change to directory "/etc/init.d/"
and
from the root shell prompt "#" I write:
spamassassin restart
But it seems that it wants to process the file "restart", instead of
understanding the option restart.
Thanks for your answer,
/Hiram

Hi!
It's Hiram again. I've updated the "local.cf" file and I'm trying to
restart
spam assassin.
I write:
/etc/init.d/# spamassassin restart
But I get:
Unable to open restart: No such file or directory
[snip..]
so
/etc/init.d/spamassassin restart
or so
cd /etc/init.d/
./spamassassin restart
Linux basics. ;)

Wow, daily eh!
OK, so here is the thing....
my rules (on FreeBSD 6.3) are kept in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin
when I ran the sa-update, it put them in
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001008/updates_spamassassin_org
so up to this point, I have been cpoying the contents of
"/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001008/updates_spamassassin_org" to "
/usr/local/share/spamassassin"
Based on what you guys are telling me, I bet there is some configuration
knob somewhere (to forgo the copying bit) that I am missing .... would
anyone like to take the time to explain?
Writing the cron job to do the update is about 2 seconds work...
