[OT?] svscan restart - how???
I know this may be off-topic, but since most of the people on this list seem to be familiar with svscan, I thought I might try. I use svscan to start all of my qmail daemons and can't figure out how to restart it safely on my FreeBSD 4.0 sys. Thus far, I have tried to kill, HUP, etc. for the service itself, with disastrous results... What I am trying to do is simply restart all of the qmail daemons. Perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way. pop3d, smtp and the qmail rc scripts are all started with links to /service. Startup is going very smoothly, same with shutdown - but no restart. Can someone help? Thanks, SF

Svscan should not be stopped. It just enter the directories and spawns supervise processes. Supervise should be used to start/stop services. You can use the svc command to restart your qmail system. man svc might help you.
