Bug#774380: spamassassin: sa-update cronjob complains when spamd is disabled

[Samuel Wolf]

Same problem here:
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
Job for spamassassin.service failed. See 'systemctl status
spamassassin.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript spamassassin, action "reload" failed.

Jessie with systemd.

The patch by Bernhard seems to work fine. This was bothering me since upgrading 
to jessie. Thanks!

Hi,

 I guess we should simply check if spamd is running before trying to 
 reload it? Is it ok to use pidof?

How about using the status command of the initscript? Patch 
attached ...

It still has inconsistent behaviour because the sysv initscript 
checks ENABLED, but that's another issue.

Bug#774380: spamassassin: sa-update cronjob complains when spamd is disabled

[Eric Dorland]

Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.4.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm using amavis rather than spamd, so I'd like to update the rules but
don't need to run spamd, so I have ENABLED=0 and CRON=1 in
/etc/default/spamassassin. When the cronjob runs it spews an error like this:

/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
Job for spamassassin.service failed. See 'systemctl status 
spamassassin.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript spamassassin, action reload failed.

Presumably this is a difference between sysvinit and systemd, where systemd
complains on reload if the service is running but the sysvinit script doesn't.
