   Thanks! I've added a "restart" option to my start/stop script.

   As a followup, if I wanted to change one of the command-line options
with which the multiplexor was invoked (for example, changing the "l"
value, which periodically logs the slave status), could I stop and then
restart just the multiplexor, or should I kill and restart both
components?

   And what about MIMEDefang? If I wanted to change the invocation by,
say, adding "-s" so it would filter on sender, can I stop/start that
individual component without having to stop/start the multiplexor?
