Which is why you didn't have "-bd" in the init script, yes of course.

So, here's what's going on:

mymachine]# ssh myothermachine /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80mailscanner restart
Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
              MailScanner:       [  OK  ]
              incoming sendmail: [  OK  ]
              outgoing sendmail: [  OK  ]
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming sendmail: [  OK  ]
         outgoing sendmail: [  OK  ]
         MailScanner:       [  OK  ]
Killed by signal 2.
mymachine# ssh myothermachine /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S30syslog restart
Shutting down kernel logger: [  OK  ]
Shutting down system logger: [  OK  ]
Starting system logger: [  OK  ]
Starting kernel logger: [  OK  ]
mymachine#

I have to hit ctrl C to get the mailscanner init script to exit.
