Depends on how you installed them. If you used RPM deinstall them using RPM too. (rpm -e) If you compiled them yourself from sources: - Extract the source tar ball again, configure, compile and install them. But I guess this won't solve your problem ... seems you're in bigger trouble, because even if it would only be daemontools-binaries that are 'defect' ... how come they are, just from upgrading the kernel??? That leads to the next question of yours: > Whats wrong with the system ? Good question, we can't tell from looking at your crystal ball :-/ But that's _exactly_ the answer you should find, instead of assuming a new installation of daemontools will solve your problems. - Go, edit '/etc/inittab', deactivate the line that starts svscan. - Shut down all qmail processes. - Start them all one by one. If a start script fails: go, look what the script does and execute every single step this script would do yourself, manually. Figure out which command _exactly_ fails. - Search for possible reasons why THIS command might fail. You wrote your systems runs after rebooting for some time and then suddenly stops working: is there any problem with disc space? SWAP partition? What's the CPU load when qmail processes are killed? Are you sure you have not intruder on your system that might effect your processes? Many questions, including the ones about versions of software you're using, including what operating system exactly (there's Debian, RedHat, SuSE, and many, many more ...). Beside that: this is definitely a qmail problem: let's discuss this PM or in news:alt.comp.mail.qmail -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
