mailscanner status command

[Matt Doherty]

looks to me that status failed the first time then second it worked..Before
the first time around, maybe a SIGHUP to sendmail was forgotten or kill -9
sendmail before running the new script .
Looks to me the second time around was perfect.. then again im a newbie :-)

  This [sendmail] reference is apparently a symptom of the problem that I
  reported yesterday when the 'status' command twice indicated FAILED. Below
  are both the 'status' output and a 'ps ax' output.

  [root-dll at server1 ~]$ service mailscanner status
  Checking MailScanner daemons:
  MailScanner: [ OK ]
  incoming sendmail: [ OK ]
  outgoing sendmail: [FAILED]
  [root-dll at server1 ~]$ ps ax |grep -i mail
  6472 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections
  6475 ? S 0:00 [sendmail]
  15233 ? S 0:05 perl /usr/local/MailScanner/bin/mailscanner
  /usr/loca
  16960 ? S 0:00 sendmail: ./g5HEGoW29244 softwaremodeling.com.:
  user

  Then, a stop, start, status and ps again. Note that it stopped the
  processes ok so it's not dependant on the 'ps ax' output for that.

  [root-dll at server1 ~]$ service mailscanner stop
  Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
  MailScanner: [ OK ]
  incoming sendmail: [ OK ]
  outgoing sendmail: [ OK ]
  [root-dll at server1 ~]$ service mailscanner start
  Starting MailScanner daemons:
  incoming sendmail: [ OK ]
  outgoing sendmail: [ OK ]
  MailScanner: [ OK ]
  [root-dll at server1 ~]$ service mailscanner status
  Checking MailScanner daemons:
  MailScanner: [ OK ]
  incoming sendmail: [ OK ]
  outgoing sendmail: [ OK ]
  [root-dll at server1 ~]$ !ps
  ps ax | grep -i mail
  17325 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections
  17328 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m
  17331 ? S 0:00 sendmail: ./g5HEGoW29244 alpha.armillaire.com.:
  user
  17337 ? S 0:00 perl /usr/local/MailScanner/bin/mailscanner
  /usr/loca
  [root-dll at server1 ~]$
