More Info!! trouble with MailScanner-4.24-5

[Cecilia Cabrera]

Look at what a ps shows:

bash-2.03# ps -efa | grep 5277
    root  5295  4689  0 17:04:30 pts/0    0:00 grep 5277
    root  5277     1  0 17:04:13 ?        0:00 /usr/bin/perl -I/opt/MailScanner/lib /opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner /opt/Mail
    root  5289  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>
    root  5278  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>

Some minutes later:

bash-2.03# ps -efa | grep 5277
    root  5436  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>
    root  5313  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>
    root  5297  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>
    root  5441  4689  0 17:08:07 pts/0    0:00 grep 5277
    root  5277     1  0 17:04:13 ?        0:00 /usr/bin/perl -I/opt/MailScanner/lib /opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner /opt/Mail
    root  5289  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>
    root  5278  5277  0                   0:00 <defunct>


hope it helps
