[15:11:23] <Poly-C> darkside_, by the way, the init script is definitely screwed.
[15:11:54] <Poly-C> It doesn't detect if spamd was started or not. It always claims spamd was started successfully.
[15:16:37] <Poly-C> Problem is that "sleep 1" returns 0 so the following "eend $?" always returns 0 as well when spamd failed to start.
[15:17:40] <darkside_> that makes sense

(fixed my typos for better readability)

Reproducible: Always

Oh thanks. I didn't see this bug until after I committed it.
