dovecot - Apr 2007 - Init.d boot scripts??

Hello,

Trying to figure out how to get dovecot to startup at boot. I saw the
Ubuntu script on the dovecot site, but that didn't work on my system (SuSe
10.2). Of course, copying the /usr/local/sbin/dovecot file into
/etc/init.d doesn't work at all.  Any one have working SuSe script??

I don't have a SuSE script, but I use something like this on Solaris
just adjust CFG and BIN to fit your needs

----begin----

#!/bin/sh
#
# Dovecot Secure IMAP/pop server

## please configure to fit your needs here
CFG=/etc/dovecot.conf
BIN=/usr/local/sbin/dovecot
PROC=dovecot
## configuration ends
if [ ! -f $CFG ]; then
         exit 0;
fi

case $1 in

'start')
         $BIN -c $CFG
         ;;
'stop')
         pkill -KILL $PROC
         ;;
'restart')
         pkill -KILL $PROC
         sleep 2
         $BIN -c $CFG
         ;;
*)      echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
         ;;
esac

----end----

why not using the suse rpms init included

http://repos.opensuse.org/server:/mail/openSUSE_10.2/

chooese your arch and then download dovecot

example

http://repos.opensuse.org/server:/mail/openSUSE_10.2/x86_64/dovecot-1.0.rc28-4.1.x86_64.rpm

after all a dovecot rpm comes with suse 10.2 included, you can user yast
to install it

Time for being nasty:

People who can't write boot scripts shouldn't be operating mail servers.

Sounds harsh? That's intentional.
