Julian,

In the RH init script, could you replace all "killproc MailScanner -15" by:
        if [[ -s $MSPID ]]; then
          kill -15 $(ps -ef|grep $(cat /var/run/MailScanner.pid)|awk 
'/MailScanner:/{print $2}')
        else
          killproc MailScanner -15
        fi

That way you'll kill all MS children at the same time without killing 
other MS processess started by a different instance of MS.

There are so many things I have to modify in so many different files to 
be able to run many MS instances simultaneously on the same machine that 
I may as well rewrite the init.d script altogether...

Thanks!

Denis
