Background the process with "&" like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
start() {
echo -n "Starting Cyrus Mail Server... "
/usr/cyrus/bin/master &
echo "done"
}
stop() {
echo -n "Stopping Cyrus Mail Server... "
pkill master
echo "done"
}
case "$1" in
start)
start;
;;
stop)
stop;
;;
restart)
stop;
sleep 2;
start;
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
;;
esac
