Please see attached (you may have to modify the PATHS)
Those init scripts seem to be non-portable. I don't think they will
work in my environment (Debian 3.0) because for us Debian users there is
no /etc/rc.d directory. I have attached the init scripts I use, which
should be more portable (although on Red Hat they will not have the nice
colored "[ OK ]" on the right at startup). The scripts run in /bin/sh
and have no shell script dependencies. All paths are defined using four
environment variables. The scripts support dynamic linking against
database libraries, and use both the LIBPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variables to maximize shared object portability.
As far as I can tell, the only serious drawback to the init scripts I've
included is the use of the "killall" command to stop the IMAP and POP3
services (but the previous Red Hat init scripts also appear to do
this). If there are other processes whose names contain "dbmail-imapd"
or "dbmail-pop3d" for some reason, they will be killed too.
Feature request for 2.0! Ideally the two servers should be enhanced to
provide a command line option "-p $PIDFILE", or something like it, and
write the parent process' pid to the specified location at startup.
Then the stop verb of the init script would be changed to simply "kill
`cat $PIDFILE`". If I find time in the next couple of days, I may make
these changes myself and submit them. (Or is there a clever shell
script hack to do this?)
