RE: Spamd / RDJ

[Pierre Thomson]

Based on this crontab, cron.daily will run at 4:20 am every day, and "spamassassin stop" will run at 30 minutes past each hour; that is, once an hour.  However, if this is a typical Linux system (RedHat, SuSE, etc.) the init scripts are in located /etc/rc.d/init.d rather than just /etc/init.d .  Perhaps this is your problem.   To get a script to run every 30 minutes, you can use this syntax:   0,30 * * * * /path/to/script     Hope that helps Pierre   -----Original Message----- From: Casey King [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 3:57 PM To: SpamAssassin Users Subject: Spamd / RDJ Because RDJ –lints SA, I have tried to create a cron job that would stop Spamd from running.  I do not want it using up so much memory since MailScanner calls SA on its own.  My crontab looks like this:   ----------------------------- SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/   # run-parts 01 * * * * run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * run-parts /etc/cron.monthly   # shut down spamassassin after rulesdejour does an update 30 * * * * root /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop -------------------------   From what I “believe” I had set, is for spamassassin to be shut down every 30 minutes.   In /etc/cron.daily is my update_spamassassin_rules.   ----------------------------------- #!/bin/bash   [ -x /etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/rules_du_jour ] || exit 0 exec /etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/rules_du_jour /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop exit 0 ----------------------------------------   Seeing the cron job was not working, I added the /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop to the file hoping it would stop SA after RDJ finished.  This has been no help.   Does anyone have another idea of what I can do to shutdown SA after RDJ lints SA?  I am getting tired of stopping SA from the command line.
