RE: Help starting service
From: Jeffrey Duncan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I installed SA 3.1.0 using the CPAN install Mail::SpamAssassin method and all went well with no errors. I cannot however get the service started. I am using Qmail from the qmailrocks install. I have removed all my old SA 3.0.2 files and started fresh. What can I do at this point to make the SA work with qmail Details please! How are you trying to start the service? Do you get any error messages? Have you checked the log files? Bowie
Re: Help starting service
Hello Jeffrey, what is your platform ? You need to install sa-spamd daemon. qmail-scanner use spamc which then communicate with spamassassin daemon. cheers, Mathieu CHATEAU Thursday, November 10, 2005, 8:33:37 PM, you wrote: -- Best regards, Mathieu mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Help starting service
Hello. I am running FC4. I can start the service on the command line by just typing spamd and it all works fine. Must be something very simple - been at this all day ! I have tried to start the service the following ways ... # service spamassassin start spamassassin: unrecognized service and # /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin start -bash: /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin: No such file or directory Thanks for the help.

Re: Help starting service
I installed using cpan Mail::SpamAssassin as listed on SA site. It's working, but it won't start as a service. neither service is listed in that directory.

Ok, if you installed from CPAN, you essentially installed from source. The source will NOT install a service script. Service scripts are distribution specific. ie: they differ between Redhat Linux, suse Linux, Solaris, and freebsd. There is no universal common format for them that applies to all *nix oses. The SA source does come with several service scripts you can use, but it doesn't automatically install them. Find the redhat-rc-script.sh (probably in /root/.cpan/ somewhere) and copy it to /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin. That should let you treat SA as a redhatish service.

I installed using cpan Mail::SpamAssassin as listed on SA site. It's
working, but it won't start as a service.
neither service is listed in that directory.
I install the same way and I've got an /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamd file to
do the startup. It's possible I may have written it myself.
Try putting the file listed below into /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamd (or
spamassassin, whichever you prefer).

I get the following after creating the script, chmod +x ..

To get it to run at startup, simply do this: chkconfig --add spamd This will cause it to start in runlevels 2-5. To change the runlevel settings, take a look at the man page for chkconfig.
