I saw Julians post but if you want a separate script for MS:

/-------------------
#!/sbin/sh

# mailscanner - controls MailScanner
# 2003-05-19 Peter Bonivart, CSC

DIR=/opt/MailScanner

case "$1" in
start)
   $DIR/bin/check_mailscanner
   ;;
stop)
   echo Shutting down MailScanner...
   pkill -x MailScanner
   > $DIR/MailScanner.pid
   ;;
reload)
   echo Reloading MailScanner...
   pkill -HUP -x MailScanner
   ;;
status)
   if [ "pgrep MailScanner" ]; then
     ps -ef | grep MailScanner | grep -v grep | awk '{print "MailScanner
is running as",$1,"with pid",$2}'
   else
     echo MailScanner is not running
   fi
   ;;
*)
   echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | reload | status }"
   exit 1
   ;;
esac

exit 0
-------------------/

I just change how Sendmail starts to suit MS and then use the above
script to control MS itself.
