Error message starting/restarting MailScanner?

[Paul Hutchings]

OK it seems to be linked to running "/etc/init.d/MailScanner stop"
rather than start.

If I look at line 171 and simply run it manually - 

cd /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming && ls | egrep '^[0123456789]+$' |
xargs /bin/rm -rf 2>/dev/null

That command runs without any problem.

I'm not convinced it's a problem so far as having a bad effect, I'm
simply not sure why on earth it might be doing it?

cheers,
Paul

No, that's me try to be helpful and miss reading your original mail :-(

I misread that to be /var/spool/postfix/incoming not MailScanner/ 
incoming

Looks fine. Does this happen every time you (re)start MailScanner?  
Does MailScanner make any other comment in the log file? Does it do  
it if you restart in debug mode?
