Hi all,
whenever i have an unclean shutdown, which is often due to power failure most of the time i get problems with amavis starting up.
The error amavisd Net server pid_file already exists for running process comes when i start it under debug mode, so i always have to delete the amavisd.pid and amavisd.lock files manually before it starts.
Is there a way i can stop this from happening or get a way to delete the files during reboot in the case of an unclean shutdown.
Thanks
