The problem subsists... When I try to do a remote restart of MailScanner the bash hangs: ssh root at machine1 /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart
The restart Works but the bash freezes until I crtl+c.

This problem occurs with restart and start. The Stop and reload work nicely.

Sending the process to background wouldn't solve cause it would generate a lot of zombie process... and it still locks the bash!

This behaviour only started on the latest versions of MailScanner.

Can anyone help?
