On my system, when the script is like yours, I get the following error message:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/postfix stop * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix postfix/postfix-script: fatal: usage: postfix start (or stop, reload, abort, flush, check, set-permissions, upgrade-configuration) Similarly for "/etc/init.d/postfix start" I think this error message is indeed correct, since /usr/sbin/postfix (the value of the variable DAEMON) does require a command like "stop" or "start". I don't understand how the script can call it like it does and not generate an error. Perhaps you could try to run the /usr/sbin/postfix program directly, like this: $ sudo /usr/sbin/postfix -- quiet-quick-start On my system this generates an error: postfix/postfix-script: fatal: usage: postfix start (or stop, reload, abort, flush, check, set-permissions, upgrade-configuration) Similarly for stop: $ sudo /usr/sbin/postfix quiet-stop postfix/postfix-script: fatal: usage: postfix start (or stop, reload, abort, flush, check, set-permissions, upgrade-configuration) -- Postfix fails to start at boot time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
