yes the *daemon* _forks_ in the background.
what surprises you ? moreover it logs things in /var/log/mail.log so…
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
This surprised me, I'm not very familiar with reading traces, but it
looked, like a terminated child. Not sure...
The problem is: There is no running child process!
Maybe I'm wrong, but:
space-based:/# ps ax | grep whitelister
14016 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep whitelister
space-based:/# rm /var/run/whitelister.pid
space-based:/# /etc/init.d/whitelister start
Starting postfix whitelister daemon: whitelister.
space-based:/# ps ax | grep whitelister
14097 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep whitelister
space-based:/# cat /var/run/whitelister.pid
14056
space-based:/# ps > /var/run/whitelister.pid
space-based:/# /etc/init.d/whitelister start
Starting postfix whitelister daemon: whitelister.
space-based:/# /etc/init.d/whitelister start
Starting postfix whitelister daemon: whitelister.
space-based:/# /etc/init.d/whitelister start
Starting postfix whitelister daemon: whitelister.
Maybe I'm missing something, but this looks a bit weird.
And I find nothing in mail.log :-(
