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
