rcinit

[dmorton]

amavisd-maia needs init script to start/stop/restart. Different distros do this differently, but it shouldn't be too hard since amavisd has this functionality built in... a symlink to the main program may be all that is needed.

No need. The amavisd-new distribution already includes an init script. It's named "amavisd_init.sh", and just needs to be renamed to "amavisd" and copied to /etc/rc.d/init.d.

This script does not work on SUSE 9.1 -

/etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia: line 13: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or directory

It appears that this is redhat centric.

however, SUSE 9.1 can easily be done with symlinks:

/etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia -> /usr/local/sbin/amavisd-maia
/usr/sbin/rcamavisd-maia -> /etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia
/etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S19amavisd-maia
/etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S19amavisd-maia
/etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01amavisd-maia
/etc/rc.d/amavisd-maia /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01amavisd-maia

We need to add this to the documentation, and maybe provide a script to do this.
