<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My initial question did not relate to a cobalt,
but I do have access to a Raq4 so tried it out and have the same
problem with the init script not successfully stopping MailScanner, however
it does work fine on my RedHat 7.2 system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the cobalt, the
pidofproc function in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions does not
return anything. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, after comparing the
pidofproc function on the cobalt and redhat systems I added (after
making a backup of "functions")</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To the pidofproc function on the cobalt, now
the init script works fine and is able to stop mailscanner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As Cobalts are strange beasts I dont know
whether this is going to break anything else, but seems ok at the
moment.</DIV>

a Cobalt RaQ in the the init script doesn't stop the mailscanner has the
init script got broken somewhere? this section seems to be related to all
the PIDs for mailscanner but its commented out and I couldn't find any
killproc info for Mailscanner in the init file - but then this bit is a
bit of mystery for me anyway.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
