having a sinister problem.

I have modfied a SysV script to start the clamd and than clam-milter.
when I check status I get:

[r...@smtp ~]# /etc/init.d/clamav-milter status
clamav-milter (pid 3432) is running...
clamd (pid 3426) is running...

I send an email and the header has :

X-Virus-Status: Clean
X-Virus-Scanned: clamav-milter 0.96 at smtp.inksystemsinc.com



I come back a few days later and I get this:

[r...@smtp ~]# /etc/init.d/clamav-milter status
clamav-milter dead but subsys locked
clamd (pid 5152) is running...

This is very similar to what I get with my mail server. Seemed to be happening every time freshclam ran which is handled via a cron task. I could not figure out was was causing it and just went to a workaround of having a cron task restart of the clamav-milter 2 min after the freshclam task.

I will be happy to try any solutions that get posted here regarding a fix for this. It is a personal test mail server so I am not terribly concerned about having
the restart task.

Thanks, Jim _______________________________________________
