hi all,
I trying to run qmail according to Life With qmail instructions.

qmailctl stat shows:
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 1151) 169 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 414) 1831 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 1154) 169 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 419) 1831 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 1157) 169 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 423) 1831 seconds
messages in queue: 1
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

I'm alway getting an error with readproctitle, ps is showing:
root 409 0.0 0.5 1236 252 ? S 22:41 0:00
readproctitle service errors: ...............

However qmail is working correctly: can send and receive mail
correctly.

But how can i take out this readproctile error ?

Many thanx in advance.

I'm giving you more details about the readproctitle error I have:

1) qmailctl stat shows services are correctly running
2) ps shows a readproctitle service error (only dots)
3) stopping qmail then running svscan from shell shows the following errors:
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-pop3d/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
4) I checked the links in /service and they are corrects

Any suggestion or idea ?

Thank you.

Good.

Good. That's not an error message.

Oops. Don't do that. Stopping qmail doesn't stop svscan.

It ain't broke. Don't try to fix it.

In fact, after borwsing news, surfing web site documentations, I finally
discovered that it was not an error...!
However thank you for your help.
