[Mimedefang] HUGE problem with mimedefang

Hi David,
A script like this would be invaluable. I'm not sure I quite understand
though. status is
not an option to /etc/init.d/mimedefang on my system:
[root at Raydeus-Dee init.d]# /etc/init.d/mimedefang
Usage: /etc/init.d/mimedefang {start|stop|restart|reread|reload}
When I run the script manually, I get this message back:
[root at Raydeus-Dee init.d]# ./mimedefang-status.pl
MIMEDefang appears to have stopped; restarting...
but Mimedefang wasn't in an error state at the time.
When I ran the script, it stops then starts mimedefang (see snippet from
/var/log/maillog) but it seems like it stops then starts it no matter what
it's status is. Somehow I don't think I want Mimedefang stopped & started
every 5 minutes regardless.... what am I missing in my understanding here?
Thanks,
Lisa Casey
