At least I was right about something : (
However, the words "Finally, start svscan in /service. Other packages rely
on svscan to start new services and to restart services upon reboot." Were
pretty explicit and came in handy when installing djbdns at least. I did
wonder why I didn't have any symlinks for qmail's processes in /service.
doh.
So we are starting supervise in /var/qmail/supervise/
as in svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/*
Man I feel silly. Anyway, would this be the prefered way to supervise qmail
these days? If so/not, then why?
Oh well, I did learn something and I also managed to get pop3d supervised
without pestering the list.
For the record I have qmail + all the handy stuff at inter7.com running on 4
OpenBSD2.8 machines now and I used my seriously bastardized LWQ style script
which I named /usr/local/sbin/qmail after I included a
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run file and rblsmtp to qmail-smtpd.
I also would have never gotten it all working without LWQ.
