The [OK]'s were the values to which I was referring. On my RH 7.2 system
it looked like this:
Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
~              MailScanner: [  OK  ]
~              incoming sendmail: [  OK  ]
~              outgoing sendmail: [  OK  ]

Adding the extra spacing caused everything to line up. Once I upgrade
that box to 7.3 later this week, I'll see if it's one of those oddities
that is highly version specific.

I prefer them capitalized as the beginning of a line, but we already
know I'm weird.

That was kind of my point... =)
But either way, thanks for taking the time to write that... I spent
about 15 minutes fiddling with it when I first installed MailScanner a
while back, but never really had the time to devote to actually
beautifying it.
