RC scripts - restart not working

[David Hooton]

Hi All,

Due to some systems software we have installed, we need to restart
MailScanner every 15 minutes - this is not a problem, we don't mind the
restart bit, that's ok.

The problem we have is that the rc scripts don't always actually restart
MailScanner.  We're running /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart but that
seems to not work properly because MailScanner has to wait for all
processes to stop.

Our (not so great) work around is to script a service stop, wait 10
seconds and then start MS as per normal.  Surely there's a better way..

I am kinda erring on pointing the bone and saying the rc scripts are
broken, but I'm not that kinda guy! :)

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
