I suspect you're right but can't remember which *ix is picky that way. Anyone, anyone? For all *ixes I've used, however, " #!" will not work because those magic characters must be the first two bytes in the file. That's the part that's important to get right. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!

In any event, he failed to supply the other information we asked for so I suggest we wait until he does so. Regards.

You have a typo somewhere. There's no such thing as "qmail-smptd" as you have above; did you mistype the error message? It should be qmail-smtpd. If you've got it the other way, supervise won't even be able to find it. Otherwise the problem is you've got a typo in .../supervise/qmail-smtpd/run . Download a new copy from "Life with qmail" and try again.

Did you check the contents of qmail-smtpd/run? What did you see? Show us? In the absence of that information, my guess is that you have a typo in the first #! line of that file. Regards. PS. Dave is alive and well and working on a less ambitious project (with apologies to one of the best known graffiti lines in Sydney).

Make sure that the qmail-smtpd/run file doesn't have DOS-style CR/LF pairs. The 'file' command should tell you if it does. If it does, fix it - see http://kb.indiana.edu/data/acux.html for various ways to convert. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!
