I get this error running sa-update via cron "service: no such service /etc/init.d/spamd"
This appears to happen only when sa-update actually does an update. I was running it twice a day, once at 00:30 and again at 06:00 (or so) and only the 00:30 would report this error. The error show up in my email, as an admin/root message from the box. Happened every day. I commented out the 00:30 line and now the 06:00 one fails. Tells me the one updating is the one failing. The actual cron command line is: "/usr/bin/sa-update && /sbin/service /etc/init.d/spamd restart" SA 3.3.2, opensuse 12.2 joe a.
