I suspect you need an entry in /etc/tmpfiles.d so that directory gets created at boot time.
Google tmpfiles.d or see this redhat blog page: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/09/20/managing-temporary-files-with-systemd-tmpfiles-on-rhel7/ On Mon, 27 Nov 2017, Colony.three wrote:
I have fought with this for days, and finally had to hotwire it. But I'd like to understand what's going on. RHEL7 with spamassassin 3.4.0 and spamass-milter-postfix 0.4.0. /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin SPAMDOPTIONS="--daemonize --create-prefs --max-children=5 --username=spamd --groupname=spamd --socketpath=/run/spamassassin/spamd.sock --socketowner=spamd --socketgroup=spamd --socketmode=660 --ipv4-only" spamassassin.service: [Unit] Description=Spamassassin daemon After=syslog.target network.target PartOf=spamassassin-update.service [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/run/spamd.pid EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin ExecStartPre=-/sbin/portrelease spamd ExecStart=/usr/bin/spamd --pidfile /run/spamd.pid $SPAMDOPTIONS StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target It simply would not create /run/spamassassin directory on boot. It is supposed to create it automatically like clamd does, since /run is wiped at each boot. To make it work I finally had to add: ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir /run/spamassassin ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R spamd:spamd /run/spamassassin SELinux is set to Permissive, so that's not it. Any ideas?
