Ok, so for some reason the check_MailScanner script logic fails. What
do you get if you do
uname -a
ps axww | egrep MailScanner'[:]|\['MailScanner'\]|[ ]'/usr/sbin/MailScanner
The first should be a line contailing the litteral word "Linux", the
second a (longish) list of MailScanner processes, whith PID as first
column... If the latter produces no output... then that would explain
things;-).
