Hi,
i've been running spamassassin sucessfully on a suse 8.0 with postfix and cyrus-imap for quite a while, but ever so often i hit the following snag: after a reboot, spamd wouldnt start. the init script i'm using: <-- cut --> #! /bin/sh # Copyright (c) 1995-2002 SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany. # All rights reserved. # # Author: Kurt Garloff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # # /etc/init.d/spamd # # and symbolic its link # # /(usr/)sbin/rcspamd # # LSB compliant service control script; see http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ # # System startup script for some example service or daemon spamd (template) # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: spamd # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog cyrus # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog cyrus # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6 # Description: Start spamd to allow XY and provide YZ # continued on second line by '#<TAB>' ### END INIT INFO # # Note on Required-Start: It does specify the init script ordering, # not real dependencies.
