vm-pop3d

[ocs-hosting]

whenever i try to start vm-pop3d in direct admin i just get
error
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vm-pop3d not found

any suggestions?

Can you connect:

$ telnet localhost 110

If you can, then it's posible it's not running as a daemon but rather through either inetd or xineted.

i can connect, but ONLY if, i leave an SSH Connection open that executed the vm-pop3d.

I ssh in from my home linux system, and leave an ssh connection open 24/7 keeping vm-pop3 alive

Makes no sense.

from my linux box at home i run, ssh IP PORT
PASSWORD

then cd /usr/local/sbin
& finally ./vm-pop3d

and then leave ssh connected, i do that mailserver works, i close the ssh session and mailserver stops

Try:
ssh IP PASSWORD
/usr/local/sbin/vm-pop3d &

Then disconnect and test it.

Which indicates that your start script is somehow incorrect and should be fixed. That would be a better way to resolve the issue.
