I wish I could use -u and -g, but that requires actually > parsing the config files the same way amavisd-new does. --name has always been unreliable, given its system dependant size limit and the fact that it's commonly used for pretty printing on ps. In any case, yes I'd recommend using --exec (on the perl interpreter!?), --pidfile and --user, that should be enough to distinguish it from other processes. > Reassiging back to amavisd-new.

I'd rather try to find something more reliable that can distinguish a process and not add just yet more heuristics based on --name. Hmm, just thinking out loud now, a possible new test could be to check for the parent pid, which for daemons would usually be 1. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
