Okay, that makes sense. Too bad they don't point that out! Thanks for
the help.
Here are the results ....
# locate redhat-rc-script.sh
/root/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0/spamd/redhat-rc-script.sh
# cp /root/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0/spamd/redhat-rc-script.sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin
cp: cannot stat
`/root/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0/spamd/redhat-rc-script.sh':
No such file or directory
I have to be doing something stupid ......
Thanks for the patients ...

neither service is listed in that directory.
Ok, if you installed from CPAN, you essentially installed from source.
The source will NOT install a service script.
Service scripts are distribution specific. ie: they differ between Redhat Linux,
suse Linux, Solaris, and freebsd. There is no universal common format for them
that applies to all *nix oses.
The SA source does come with several service scripts you can use, but it doesn't
automatically install them.
Find the "redhat-rc-script.sh" (probably in /root/.cpan/ somewhere) and copy it
to /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin. That should let you treat SA as a redhatish
service.
