Ahh, okay. After having looked at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions on our
Linux users group's Redhat machine, I figured out how those killproc
and status functions work.
The ``main'' qmail process is called qmail-send, not qmail, so ``pidof''
won't find it. So the best way for those scripts to find the process is
to put something sensible in /var/run/qmail.pid.
I hope this works...
#!/bin/sh
/var/qmail/rc & echo "$!" > /var/run/qmail.pid
