If you are running postfix your problem is easily solved. Qmail is not so easily solved but is solvable. Sendmail requires basically running your own DNSBL. Exchange I only mention because it should bring a good laugh. I am the only user on my system that gets SPAM. I want some spam that way my users don't get SPAM. If you are running postfix and you are interested I can work with you only eliminating SPAM but only at the smtpd gateway. I cannot stop SPAM on a user by user basis. Thanks, David. |

Well I got Jamie's new book in the mail today...I was hoping it explained more about the Service Monitoring feature, but it didn't have my answer. So does anyone know what exactly the "If monitor goes down, run command" feature really does? i can't get it to work. Does it run as a certain user? I want to run a script to restart the service but it doesn't seem to work and I have no clue where to look if there are any status messages. Ideas? -- <---------------------------------------------------------------> Alex Pilson FlagShip Interactive, Inc. al...@fl... <---------------------------------------------------------------> |

If your service stops, odds are there was a good reason for it, and it will stop again. I usually have it page me or email me (depending on importance of the service). Your script can run things as a different user using su, but the script itself will be called as root. Jamie, it might be useful to have a "Run as user" option... -- Joe Cooper <jo...@sw...> Web caching appliances and support. http://www.swelltech.com |

Probably not too useful, as most responses to a down service (such as re-starting it) require root privileges. And as you said, the user can always enter su someuser -c "command to run as that user" - Jamie |
