I am trying to use David Sill's Qmail startup script. I have added "nohup" before "supervise". The script ends immediately with the "Done" message and will not start any of the Qmail's processes. I have the qmail-smtpd-wrapper in /var/qmail/bin. After that, I have issued following command as root. $ mkdir -p /var/supervise/qmail/send $ mkdir /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd What should be the permissions on these directories be? Who should be the owner of these directories? The manual command, $ csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' works fine. Why should I look for in Dave Sill's startup script, to make it work? Any pointers appreciated. Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/
