First qmail install...HELP

[vous]

Hello All,

I'm trying to get a qmail install up and running (first time), but came accross this problem...

By the way, I'm using this HOW_TO: http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html

I'm supposed to verify that the "qmailctl stop" script runs, but it doesn't kill the processes:

# netstat -a | grep smtp
tcp 0 0 localhost:smtp *:* LISTEN
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2808 private/smtp
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2844 private/bsmtp

# qmailctl stop
Stopping qmail...
qmail-smtpd
qmail-send

# netstat -a | grep smtp
tcp 0 0 localhost:smtp *:* LISTEN
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2808 private/smtp
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2844 private/bsmtp

So I went to the script itself:

<----BEGIN----->
.....

PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
export PATH

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`

case "$1" in
start)
.............
fi
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping qmail..."
echo " qmail-smtpd"
svc -d /service/qmail-smtpd /service/qmail-smtpd/log
echo " qmail-send"
svc -d /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-send/log
if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/qmail ]; then
rm /var/lock/subsys/qmail
fi
;;

<----END----->

I checked both /service/..../.../..../ locations and they are present.....

So, what is wrong with the script?? Why does't it stop qmail?

What does that svc function look like?

[vous]

svc is part of the daemontools I was required to install. The default location is:

/package/admin/daemontools/command

# ls -la svc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10248 May 22 11:20 svc

As far as I understand, it is a binary...thus can't actually see it...

Is that what you meant?

[Dolda2000]

Are you sure that it's a binary and not just a shell script? Check with the file command.

[vous]

Here you go:

# file svc
svc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

[Dolda2000]

I see, it is a binary. In that case I can't help you. I don't have that program. What distribution are you using?

[vous]

SuSE 8.1 pro

[Dolda2000]

What does the svc program do? Is there a manpage for it?

[vous]

nope....there is no man page for it.....

[vous]

OK, last problem solved....the SMTP processes you saw before were from postfix.....

That is why the script didn't shut it down....

OK, so I sent my first 2 test messages....

TESTING.....

I have tried this in two ways:

#1 echo to: this_local_user | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

#2 echo to: <xuserx>@yahoo.com | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject


And then I check....

# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 13441) 110 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 13443) 110 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 13446) 110 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 13451) 110 seconds
messages in queue: 2
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0


But they are stuck in that queue and I'm not getting the email.....?!


Any thoughts...????
