Hi, A solution could be to add the "--name" option to start-soap-daemon : start() { ebegin "Starting spamd" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --name spamd \ --nicelevel ${SPAMD_NICELEVEL:-0} \ --exec /usr/sbin/spamd -- -d -r ${PIDFILE} \ ${SPAMD_OPTS} eend $? "Failed to start spamd" } This fixes the problem with openrc and also works with baselayout 1.12. See bug #215031 related to postgrey : this is the same problem (and same solution) Note that #218008 is a duplicate.
Solution provided in Comment #3 doesn't work here. =mail-filter/spamassassin-3.2.4 # service spamd restart * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting spamd ... * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/spamd died * Failed to start spamd [ !! ] * ERROR: spamd failed to start However, a new spamd process, *only if* no previous spamd process is currently running. # ps -ax |grep spamd Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html 11233 ? Rs 0:01 /usr/sbin/spamd 5 -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid -m 1 -c -H (FYI: Comment #3 seems like a hack rather then a solution?)
Wish I could strike my last comment. :-/ I failed to see "--name spamd" (instead only typed "--name" omitting the following "spamd")! (ARG! The only reason I hate bugzilla, I can't strike my own mistakes ;-) Works here now!
Created attachment 150233 [details, diff] Patch for "files/3.0.0-spamd.init" Adds --name option to /etc/init.d/spamd
This bug is open for more than 6 weeks! Is it really that hard to add this tiny patch?
(In reply to comment #7) > This bug is open for more than 6 weeks! > Is it really that hard to add this tiny patch? > This patch has already been added to Gentoo. Please see mail-filter/spamassassin-3.2.5. However, even with the --name option, the scripts fail with sys-apps/openrc-0.4.3-r1. The reason for failure is that passing spamd the -d option causes spamd to fork and let the initial process die. The following is guessed: The initial process is named spamd and openrc pick up on the process. That process, after bearing children, dies, so openrc says: spamd |* start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/spamd died And yet I can see the processes in ``ps -Aef |grep spamd'' and ``cat /var/run/spamd.pid''. But the pidfile isn't created for 5 seconds and, currently, openrc won't wait 5 seconds for me and check the pidfile then (when using the --pidfile option). Thus, I propose this method of launching spamd: remove the -d option from spamd and add the --background option to start-stop-daemon. I use this on my system to get the spamass-milter initscript to run. I would also recommend the following change to the script: the ``kill -HUP'' in reload() should be replaced with ``start-stop-daemon --signal HUP --pidfile ${PIDFILE}'' . I'm not sure if the baselayout-1's start-stop-daemon supports the --signal option, though.
Re: Comment 8 That fixes it for me. Thanks.
Except, although spamd is running OK and /var/log/rc shows no errors, "rc-status" always reports spamd as "crashed". I'm on ~amd64 here.
Updated init.d script provided with spamassassin-3.3.1-r1 please test.
Works here now.
