Hi. I recently saw that all courier daemons write a PID file to /var/run/courier except for courierd.
As I use "monit" for monitoring, there must be a PID file for every service monitored (limitation of "monit"). When setting monit up, I simply forgot to monitor courierd because the absent PID file. Apart from that, a crashed courierd is very hard to detect because there's no TCP port to watch and the queue (reported by mailq) does not fill up or something like that. It's just that messages are no longer processed in any way. So I think it would ease up monitoring a lot if courierd would write a PID file as all other services do. My setup: courier-0.59.0 on gentoo linux (I know it's old but regarding the changelogs ince then, this was not changed afterwards). cu, Bernd
