I noticed in some situations you need to pause mimedefang on a restart, to give the socket time to get cleared out. Is their a way to test and see if the socket is correctly formed before starting mimedefang?
Eg you have another switch on the restart switch that does not wait an arbitrary amount of time between the stop and start, but waits the minimal amount of time by detecting the correct creation of the sock, before starting mimedefang up again. Would it be good enough to detect that the file exists? Example would be another option on restart like smart-restart, which does thus: stop mimedefang, pause until socket is correctly destroyed, then starts up mimedefang. Would checking for the existence of the socket file be good enough? My normal fix is to pause 3 seconds between restarts of mimedefang. -- Luke Computer Science System Administrator Security Administrator,College of Engineering Montana State University-Bozeman,Montana _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
