The RPM package has a Red Hat-based init.d
script for qpsmtpd-forkserver
configured for the RPM install layout, however it is easy to modify for a standard tarball install layout if desired. Once the init.d
script in place and configured, qpsmtpd-forkserver
can be managed via chkconfig
and service
on RH-based distros.
The debian package also contains a similar script for Debian.
The following init script will work with most Red Hat, Mandrake or related systems:
#! /bin/bash # # qpsmtpd-forkserver Start/Stop the qpsmtpd forking server # # chkconfig: 2345 90 60 # description: qpsmtpd is a flexible smtpd daemon written in Perl. \ # Apart from the core SMTP features, all functionality is \ # implemented in small "extension plugins" using the easy \ # to use object oriented plugin API. # processname: qpsmtpd-forkserver # config: /etc/qpsmtpd # pidfile: /var/run/qpsmtpd-forkserver.pid # cleanup environment a bit. unset PERL_UNICODE # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions . /etc/sysconfig/qpsmtpd-forkserver RETVAL=0 # See how we were called. dir="/usr/share/qpsmtpd" prog="qpsmtpd-forkserver" start() { echo -n $"Starting $dir/$prog: " trap "" 1 $dir/$prog --detach $QPSMTPD_OPTIONS RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog return $RETVAL } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $dir/$prog: " killproc $prog RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/$prog return $RETVAL } rhstatus() { status qpsmtpd-forkserver } restart() { stop start } reload() { stop start } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) restart ;; reload) reload ;; status) rhstatus ;; condrestart) [ -f /var/lock/subsys/$prog ] && restart || : ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|reload|restart|condrestart}" exit 1 esac exit $?
You will also need to add a sysconfig file to /etc/sysconfig with similar contents to the below:
QPSMTPD_OPTIONS="-p 25 -l 127.0.0.l -m 5" export QPSMTPD_CONFIG=/etc/qpsmtpd export HOME=~smtpd
Very simple script for gentoo:
#!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 DIR=/usr/local/qpsmtpd PROG=qpsmtpd-forkserver source /etc/conf.d/qpsmtpd depend() { need net } checkconfig() { if ! [ -d /etc/qpsmtpd ]; then eerror "Configuration directory /etc/qpsmtpd does not exist." return 1 fi return 0 } start() { checkconfig || return 1 ebegin "Starting qpsmtpd" $DIR/$PROG --detach $QPSMTPD_OPTIONS --pid-file /var/run/qpsmtpd-forkserver.pid eend $? } stop() { ebegin "Stopping qpsmtpd" killall $PROG eend $? }
