I am running on Linux, Redhat 6.0. Yes there were background commands in
both the /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail and the/var/qmail/rc file. I removed the "
&" from /var/qmail/rc and the errors no longer come up. Thank you.
I left the & in the init.d file. Was that the appropriate fix?
The surpervise command in /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail reads:
echo -n "Starting qmail: qmail-send"
supervise /var/supervise/qmail/send /var/qmail/rc |
setuser qmaill cyclog /var/log/qmail &
/var/qmail/rc reads as follows:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
csh -cf 'qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail &'
Since I'm exporting $PATH in my initiation file do I need the exec env -
line in rc? Should I just start qmail-start from my initiation file?
Could changing either of these items cause problems?
Thanks
John
