Amavis-Stats-0.1.22 (2006-01-12): Unknown Argument Usage:
Amavis-Stats [-u user] [-g group] [-c config-file] ( [start] | stop |
reload | debug | foreground )
Looks to me like it's designed to run as a daemon, but has been packaged
to run as a regular cron job for some reason. Anyway, I'm confused about
which way to take it.
