this is not needed on machines with systemd the daily restart is to prevent IMAPd crash after some days and eating up the servers RAM what can lead to OOM-killer troubles under pressure
better a scheudled regular restart than random crash what all this can not fix is having the process running but in a disfunctional state like last sunday [root@mail:~]$ cat /lib/systemd/system/dbmail-imapd.service [Unit] Description=DBMail IMAP Server After=mysqld.service Before=dovecot.service [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dbmail-imapd -D Restart=always RestartSec=1 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Am 04.04.2012 03:17, schrieb [email protected]: > If you don't want to restart the service manually by hand to recover from a > crash you can always take advantage of > daemon tools, by dj berstien.
