MailScanner starting new parent processes

[Glenn Steen]

Hi Phil,

Sorry for missing this ... Not at work atm, but IIRC there were two
distinct anomalies vis-a-vis systemd... first There seemed to be a
problem where systemctl status Mailscanner.service reported the
process dead, altough it actually lived... Think that had something to
do with it not detecting the restart behaviour of MS... Don't rightly
remember what, if anything, I did about that (not at the terminal
right now... ISTR verifying MailScanner init script could write the
pid file and then things went much better:-), second at reboots, the
order of startup was such that the network hadn't been started
(sometimes), so Postfix as started by MailScanner failed... And
possibly a failure for MS proper... But futzing the dependency for
MailScanner.service (to just wait for network start) fixed that.
No biggie, hence didn't take careful notes (not like the horrible
trouble I had with SElinux, until I could stop it enforcing AND shut
up in the logs via some careful policy creation:-).

Cheers
