just a quicky I currently use a shell script like this :- #!/bin/sh case "$1" in start) if [ -x /usr/cyrus/bin/master ] then /usr/cyrus/bin/master & echo $! > /var/run/cyrus.pid echo -n " Cyrus Master" fi ;; stop) if [ -e /var/run/cyrus.pid ] then kill `cat /var/run/cyrus.pid` rm /var/run/cyrus.pid fi ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}" 1>&2 exit 64 ;; esac which sort gives the same control. -- Simon loader yes I do need a job.
