Hi,

As a part of my "/etc/init.d/mailscanner" script i have the following
lines for reloading the config (p334 in "The book"):

'reload')
    echo "Reloading MailScanner config"
    kill -HUP `cat /opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid`
    ;;

But when I run a "/etc/init.d/mailscanner reload" the config is not
reloading and no signs of this in the log files. Nothing is happening
when i run the kill on a command line either.

A "/etc/init.d/mailscanner restart" (-TERM) is needed to get the new
config running.

Am I missing something?
