Hello Tom,

Look at the config.h for vpopmail, search for the definition of PS_COMMAND.
It does say
#define PS_COMMAND "ps axww"
Can you send the output of that command? The vpopmail problem is related to the function that parses the output of ps to find the qmail-send task so it can send a SIGHUP to it.
A possible fix -- edit vpopmail.c and change the following code:
if ( tmppid != mypid ) { kill(tmppid,sig_num); }
to:
if ( tmppid && (tmppid != mypid) ) { kill(tmppid,sig_num); }
This should eliminate what you're seeing -- vpopmail calling kill() with 0 for the PID. We should find out why it's doing that though...
I changed it and it works now. Thanks.
It could be that the error occured because my server ran out of hdd space. So it seems. Here are the lines that might interest you:

It is only an uneducated guess of mine, but it could be that when some error occurs getting info out of ps axww is not reliable? Maybe there is another way of getting it, if it is at all necessary. Otherwise the add and del commands shouldn't be dependend on a running process anyway, right?
