Pretty sure I tried it that way first and got the same result. The docs suggest service wants to know the path to the script, and feeds it the restart command. Now that I pause for a moment, I don't see a need for "service", I could just say "/usr/bin/sa-update && rcspamd restart" or "/usr/bin/sa-update && /etc/inti.d/spamd restart" But I will certainly try it, memory being fallible. This is, of course, a classic case of "just get it running" and "understand it later". joe a.
