Thread-topic: readproctitle service errors: ...temporaryfailure?multilog:fatal: unable to lock directory /var/log/qmail
Hi Kyle,
First thanks for your answers. It's now working, and I don't know why I didn't 
delete those lines before. But I found my mistake : as recommnded by the lwq 
site, I copied script from the web page, but i copied too much lines. So dumb !

So for the people who might do the same mistake, here's the final steps to the 
fix : 
I've deleted the lines (there is another "#!/bin/sh" line right under it). Then 
I've reloaded service :

=> [root@srv05 service]# svc -t /service/qmail-smtpd/

Multiple times, and 
=> [root@srv05 service]# qmailctl restart

Then I try a 
=> [root@srv05 service]# qmailctl stat

But qmail-smtpd seems up for 0-1 seconds... This last 10 seconds then uptime 
increase normally. At last, qmail-smtpd is 10 seconds late than other qmail 
processes ... But thanks to you, it's now working !

And your quote from O.Wilde is definitively true.

Cya !
