Re: amavisd cant be started = amavisd dead but subsys locked

Try this:

1) Stop amavisd service first:

# service amavis stop

2) Remove its PID file, then start it again:

# rm -f /var/run/amavisd/amavisd.pid
# service amavis start

Re: amavisd cant be started = amavisd dead but subsys locked

you think the solution is so easy ?
there is no pid file

[root@ssdfsflx init.d]# service amavisd stop
Shutting down amavisd: The amavisd daemon is apparently not running, no PID file /var/run/amavisd/amavisd.pid
                                                           [FAILED]

[root@srafddalx init.d]# rm -f /var/run/amavisd/amavisd.pid
[root@safdafx init.d]# service amavisd start
Starting amavisd:                                          [  OK  ]

[root@safasfx init.d]# service amavisd status
amavisd dead but subsys locked
[root@servername init.d]# ps | grep ama

in the mail log is following

Re: amavisd cant be started = amavisd dead but subsys locked

Check output:

# ps aux | grep perl
# ps aux | grep master

Looks like one Amavisd progress is still running and using port 10024.
