hello
it's the second time it happens: vm-pop3d 1.1.6 dies and I don't get to restart it
I found other threads about it, but it was not my case...
here's what I tried to restart it:
# service vm-pop3d stop
# killall -9 vm-pop3d
(no answer)
# killall -9 vm-pop3d
(no answer)
# killall -9 vm-pop3d
(no process found)
# ps -auxw | grep pop3
(nothing found)
# sockstat -4 | grep 110
(nothing found)
# sockstat -4 | grep 113
(again nothing found)
# service vm-pop3d start
(OK)
[not working]
# service vm-pop3d stop
(not found)
# service vm-pop3d start
(OK)
and so on...
I also tried rm -f /var/spool/lock/vm-pop3d and to restart again
the log show that the address was already in use
anyway
while testing a few other things, I checked the log again and a user had logged... hmm...
then I did "ps -auxw | grep pop3" and it was there!
so it just starts when it wants?!
any suggestions?
