Help: waiting for children to die: Process did not exit cleanly

[Kimpton, C (Chris)]

Hi,

Thanks for that - and apologies for not finding that entry myself  :-(

Although I am now running it that way - the check_Mailscanner output is
this:

nog MailScanner # check_MailScanner
Starting MailScanner...
In Debugging mode, not forking...


And nothing else...

In /var/log/messages, I have this:

Jan 23 09:33:31 nog MailScanner[9547]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.57.6 starting...
Jan 23 09:33:32 nog MailScanner[9547]: Read 759 hostnames from the
phishing whitelist

Jan 23 09:34:24 nog MailScanner[9547]: RBL Checks: returned 0
Jan 23 09:34:32 nog MailScanner[9547]: RBL Checks: returned 0 

The debug flags are set for MailScanner

nog MailScanner # grep Debug /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
# Set Debug to "yes" to stop it running as a daemon and just process
Debug = yes
Debug SpamAssassin = yes

And only the incoming mta is running.

Any thoughts?


Thanks in advance,
Chris
