Bob, first I'm going to slightly edit the subject so that the reply doesn't go
into my cronjob folder. I thought I'd try the 'reload' instead of 'restart'
however, however it seems like 'reload' is not an option:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# service spamassassin reload
Usage: /etc/init.d/spamassassin {start|stop|restart|status}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
so guess I'll stick with the restart and see how it goes. I think the only
reason I was doing the restart was back when running 2.63 I only had 256mb
ram and I did it to free ram up.
Thanks
Chris
