What about doing a `set -e` at the beginning of the scripts? That way they'll stop if they hit any error.

Looks like a bug in the LWQ "qmail" script--or whatever startup script you're using. The LWQ script does: cd /var/qmail/supervise env - PATH="$PATH" svscan & echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid echo "." If /var/qmail/supervise doesn't exist, the cd fails, and svscan will run from /, and it assumes that each subdirectory is a service, and runs supervise on it. The script should check to make sure the cd succeeded, e.g.: if cd /var/qmail/supervise; then env - PATH="$PATH" svscan & echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid fi echo "." Sorry about that: that's a basic shell programming error. -Dave
supervise everywhere
We took down one of our servers and replaced the hard drive with something much larger. Another guy was working on it, so I don't exactly know right now what procedure was used to do this. But... When he brought the server back up, we noticed (understatement) that a supervise directory was created under almost every directory (but not *all* of them). What could have caused this? I never explicitly created the 100 or so supervise directories. When qmail was started, though, I don't think that the original supervise directory was there-- will supervise go crazy creating directories? Thanks for any help, Jen
