When I try to start qmail I get svok: fatal: unable to chdir to /services/qmail-send: file does not exist qmail-send service no running svok: fatal: unable to chdir to /services/qmail-smtpd: file does not exist qmail-smtpd service no running I've checked the log files but these dont give any more info. Do you have /services/qmail-send/run /services/qmail-smtpd/run or did you make a typo and should it be /service instead of /services ? Grtz, Arjen.

Re: restart without rebooting

I need to learn how to restart qmail on my BSDi system. I have not been
able to locate a qmail-restart in any of the qmail directories.
Whenever I make changes in qmail, I have had to resort to `shutdown -r now`
thus rebooting the entire system. I don't like doing this.
Someone told me to try 'killall -SIGHUP qmail', but someone else said this
might kill everything running - that the machine would not read to the
'qmail' at the end of the line.
That is not true, killall only kills the specified command with the
specified signal.
killall -HUP qmail-send
should work.
But i don't think BSDi knows the killall command.
kill -HUP `ps auwx | grep qmail-send | grep -v grep | awk -F {'print
$2'}`
(all on 1 line) should also do it.
Or maybe even (if you have bash)
for PID in \
`ps auwx | grep qmail-send | grep -v grep | awk -F {'print $2'}`; do \
kill -HUP $PID; done
(not on 1 line but don't miss the backslashes)

Wrong! Some *nixes have a killall command that kills all processes. See: [sNap] Sent to the list in case some poor soul on Solaris (or other platform, who knows?) actually used this advice Sorry for the assumtion I made. Seen all the replies it is clear now that killall has varying functions on different *nix flavors... Grtz, Arjen.

Re: mail routing question
- You get all reference to the domain and users @ the domain out of the qmail control files. - The line above does _not_ apply to rcpthosts, there the domain remains - you put in smtproutes: domainname.ext:new.smtp.server and you gove qmail-send a -HUP Should do it...
