Installing qmail-pop3d, dotting my "I's" & crossing my "T's"

Restarting qmail after installing qmail-pop3d, qmailctl stat ==>

mach1# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 5791) 852 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d/log: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 6274) 460 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 6275) 460 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 6279) 460 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 6283) 460 seconds

mach1#

-------------------------------------------------

mach1# ls -l /service/qmail-pop3d/log
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 512 Jul 12 02:22 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root qmail 512 Jul 12 02:21 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 101 Jul 12 02:22 run*


mach1# ls supervise
../ ../ qmail-pop3d/ qmail-send/ qmail-smtpd/
mach1# ls /service
../ ../ qmail-pop3d@ qmail-send@
qmail-smtpd@


How does one resolve ?
/service/qmail-pop3d/log: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

At what stage is this file generated, did not see any reference to it !

BTW

User has no $HOME/Maildir reappears in MUA (Netscape)
Thanks

One fixes the problem with that's preventing one's qmail-pop3d/log/run
script from working. Did you check:

supervise/ok is created by the qmail-pop3d "supervise" process.

I have been working through the installation steps but could not find
TEST.recieve and TEST.deliver.

qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 5791) 16526 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d/log: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 6274) 16134 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 6275) 16134 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 6279) 16134 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 6283) 16134 seconds
messages in queue: 0
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

supervise OK problem only appeared after qmail-pop3d installation

And of course can't find

How do I fix the svc file, and is that causing the supervise/ok problem


Thanks
