It looks like the restart does not shut down the old version of MS.

After restarting MS I am left with the following MS processes:

[root at cheviot4 init.d]# ps -ef | grep Mail
root 28023  1     0 13:17 ?  00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -I/opt/MailScanner
root 29335 28023  0 13:43 ?  00:00:09 /usr/bin/perl -I/opt/MailScanner

Process 28023 is the original parent but the child process, 29335, changes
after each restart. I expected to see a new parent process.

If I look at the file /opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid it contains the
old parent process:

[root at cheviot4 etc]# ls -l /opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid
-rw-------    1 root     root            6 Dec  5 13:17
/opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid

[root at cheviot4 etc]# cat /opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid
28023

I suspect the problem lies with the new /etc/init.d/MailScanner file
(obtained from the 4.10-1 RPM tar ball).

It does not use the /opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid file directly to
obtain the PID of the parent process and instead uses "killproc
MailScanner & pid=`pidofproc MailScanner`" both of which do _not_ work in
my environment.

I have attached the contents of /etc/init.d/MailScanner.
