Anyone?
If you shut down SA and run the /etc/init.d/spamassassin script to restart
it, how long does that take to complete?
Is there something like a rules recompile built into that?

Hello folks
New here :)
I'm running Spamassassin v3.4.1 here on an headless Ubuntu 16.10 server
together with Monit (and Postfix of course). Each time server restarts,
Monit says first that the spamd process is not running (no PID) but in
three minutes later it says the opposite, that it is back up running.
There is the /etc/init.d/spamassassin file that boots Spamassassin on
start. But somehow it does not seem to get executed asap but 3 mins later.
No idea why.
The PID under /var/run/spamassassin.pid is owned by root and is monitored
under Monit with these configs:
# (hidden) @ (hidden) in /etc/monit/conf.d [14:00:04] C:1
$ cat spamassassin
check process spamd with pidfile /var/run/spamassassin.pid
group mail
start program = "/etc/init.d/spamassassin start" with timeout 180
seconds
stop program = "/etc/init.d/spamassassin stop"
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
if cpu usage > 79% for 5 cycles then alert
if mem usage > 79% for 5 cycles then alert
depends on spamd_bin
depends on spamd_rc
check file spamd_rc with path /etc/init.d/spamassassin
group mail
if failed checksum then unmonitor
if failed permission 755 then unmonitor
if failed uid root then unmonitor
if failed gid root then unmonitor
check file spamd_bin with path /usr/sbin/spamd
group mail
if failed checksum then unmonitor
if failed permission 755 then unmonitor
if failed uid root then unmonitor
if failed gid root then unmonitor
Not sure what the problem is here. Could be one of these:
- a bug in /etc/init.d/spamassassin?
- a bad config in the above monit config
- something in postfix or another lib blocking spamassassin
No idea how to investigate. And there is no spamassassin log showing how
it starts up.
Any clues welcome
