Since its not the first time we got questions posted about this, would it
not be wise to do the log message like:

> > Feb 14 11:18:40 granite MailScanner[27699]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
> > Scanner version 4.12-2 starting... (parent)

> > Feb 14 11:18:40 granite MailScanner[27699]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
> > Scanner version 4.12-2 starting... (child #1)

So people see whats going on?

Bye,
Raymond.
