More tasks started then wanted..

Hi there,

ok..i guess i found out some Problem.

In my MailScanner.conf i told MailScanner just to start 2 Children

Max Children = 2


but..after i started MailScanner, i see the following in the Mail-Log:

Oct  7 13:45:19 marcel MailScanner[955]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.34.8 starting...
Oct  7 13:45:23 marcel MailScanner[957]: Using locktype = posix
Oct  7 13:45:23 marcel MailScanner[957]: Creating hardcoded struct_flock
subroutine for linux (Linux-type)

As you noticed i tried to change the lock-type into posix and no longer
flock, as i used it before..

then i tried the following:

marcel:/etc/init.d # ps -aef | grep MailS
root       954     1  0 13:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root       955   954  1 13:45 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root       957   955  0 13:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root       959   954  1 13:45 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root       960   955  0 13:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root       961   959  0 13:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root       963   959  0 13:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf


as you can see, there are more tasks then those 2 i wanted and i stated in
the config-file..

any ideas for that problem?

Greetings

Marcel
