I used [1], as per the diff. I havent put data through dspam yet, but having the pid owned (or at the very least writable) always helps. on my system the directory was chgrp dspam - i asume the init script was run as dspam or something? kk [1] (now with less extra bits as i try to make my thoughts clear!) test -d $(dirname $PIDFILE) || mkdir -p -m 755 $(dirname $PIDFILE) -- dspam won't start: /var/run/dspam missing in tmpfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
