Hi, does any one know how to get the qmail services running.

Ive followed the life with qmail up to the point of testing the services, I am running Rh9 can anyone help me to get the
/service/qmail-smtpd: up for more than 1 sec

[root@serv qmail-smtpd]# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 15736) 292 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 15741) 292 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 17074) 1 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 15742) 292 seconds

Thx in advance.

[root@serv grant]# tail /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current

I have included the run file for smtpd

[root@serv grant]# cat /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`

if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ];
then
echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in
echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
exit 1
fi

if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then
echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"
echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open
relay"
exit 1
fi

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l -H "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
2>&1

[root@serv grant]# netstat - lntp | grep 25
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 2254
[root@serv grant]#
[root@serv grant]#
[root@serv grant]# netstat -lntp | grep 25
[root@serv grant]#
[root@serv grant]#
[root@serv grant]#

any ideas would be great thx.

send the unedited output of qmail-showctl

Also, a good resource for looking for answers in the archives:

See how those variables are set in the run file? Do these commands in a
shell:

id -u qmaild
id -g qmaild
cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming
head -1 /var/qmail/control/me
#end

if any of these returns "nothing" or an error there is your problem.

go back over the instructions on www.lifewithqmail.com to figure out how
to fix this if you still don't understand what the problem is.

Please check that the file /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming exists
that there is a number in it.

Please check that the file /var/qmail/control/me exists and that there
is a hostname in it.
