I am using svscan to start qmail and dnscache. I use a similar config
on our mail server and it works fine. But on my Linux workstation, when
I reboot I get screens full of errors. I do a 'killall svscan
supervise' and the errors stop. Then I start up svscan from the command
line using exactly the same syntax as in the rc.local file (I just type
"svscan /service &") and it works perfectly. Here's the actual errors
and configs:
----------
svscan: warning: unable to start supervise dnscache: file does not exist
svscan: warning: unable to start supervise dnscache/log: file does not exist
svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-smtpd: file does not exist
svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-smtpd/log: file does not exist
svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-send/log: file does not exist
svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-send: file does not exist
----------
svscan is started like this, from /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
----------
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/svscan /service &
----------
And /service looks like this:
petra:~$ ls -ld /service/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 18:58 /service/
petra:~$ ls -l /service/

Anyone see any red flags here?
Thanks,
