Hi,
I vaguely remember postmaster not responding to
kill -9 even on Linux,
i can confirm next time when (god forbids) my postmaster
goes crazy. ;-)
i feel lucky now that my postmaster is up for more that
(24 hrs)
(no offence intended , there have been instances of my postmaster
running for as long as 3 months)
regds
mallah.
