4.10.29 vchkpw.c:#include wait.h typo?
In case anyone else is having similiar problems, on freebsd I had to change the include in chkpw.c from #include wait.h to #include sys/wait.h error was : ... gcc -I. -I/usr/local/include/mysql -g -O2 -Wall -c vchkpw.c vchkpw.c:30: wait.h: No such file or directory ... Prob just a typo. Ken, on the topic of adding supervise/svscan support, in an earlier mail I think you you said you dont use it on your production machines. May I ask why? Are there problems with daemontools. Regards Donal -- Donal Diamond Eircom Multimedia Infrastructure

Are there problems with daemontools. No problem. I've never seen qmail/tcpserver die, ever. Never ever ever. really, never. And i've seen *alot* of email machines. So I don't see any reason to have them supervised. Unsupervised it makes it easier to kill them. then i don't have to learn svscan syntax :) I was talking to one Senior admin at an ISP and his reason for not running supervise that if qmail/tcpserver dies, then there is something else wrong with the machine and he wants to find out about it rather than having it be restarted.

He must be senior enough to not have to go on-call and get paged at 4:30 in the morning :-) I'd prob use svok or svstat to generate an alert if fails - but still use svscan so i can sleep soundly. Then again - it's probably never failed. Donal
