|
|
I have used rc-update but when I do a "rc-update add qmail default" I get this:
/sbin/rc-update: /etc/init.d/qmail not found; aborting.
what is the syntax to get qmail to install into my rc-scripts?
Thanks |

How did you install qmail? Did you use "emerge qmail"? |

qmail actually gets started by the daemontools package. It should be installed since it is a dependency for emerging qmail. The startup script is called 'svscan' and requires you to set up symlinks in the /service folder to the qmail-send and qmail-smtpd folders
eg...
Code: | ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send /service/qmail-send
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd /service/qmail-smtpd
