Hi, <br>
<br>
I have MailScanner - v4.71.10 installed<br>
Exim 4.69<br>
<br>
Installation was done by configserver (Way to the Web Limited)
approximately 8 months or so ago.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://117.55.225.105:2087/scripts2/upcpform"
target="mainFrame">WHM 11.23.2 cPanel 11.23.6-R27164</a><br>
CENTOS Enterprise 4.6 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0
<br>
<br>
Up until recently MailScanner has performed flawlessly.<br>
<br>
Over the last week or so I've been getting daily mail showing
MailScanner fails to shutdown.<br>
<br>
<pre wrap="">Aug 27 10:33:21 JS-GC-S1 MailScanner: MailScanner shutdown failed
Aug 27 10:33:22 JS-GC-S1 runuser: Starting MailScanner...
Aug 27 10:33:23 JS-GC-S1 MailScanner: MailScanner setting GID to mail (12)
Aug 27 10:33:23 JS-GC-S1 MailScanner: MailScanner setting UID to mailnull (47)
Also tried to manually shutdown with same result.
[root@JS-GC-S1 ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner restart
Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
MailScanner: [FAILED]
Waiting for MailScanner to stop...
Starting MailScanner daemons:
MailScanner: [ OK ]
I have contacted configserver and they say pidof is more than likely broken but cant offer any further assistance.
I would appreciate any help/advice or suggestions as to how I may fix this recent issue.
