installing archivesmtp on Debian Squeeze

[Ovidiu]

archivesmtp: http://www.dancingfortune.com/projec...p/download.php

compiled and installed as explained on that page but when I try to get the script to start at boot-up I get these errors:

h1870666:~# insserv archivesmtp
insserv: warning: script 'K02jailkit' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'archivesmtp' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'jailkit' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service munin-node and archivesmtp if stopped
insserv:  loop involving service archivesmtp at depth 2
insserv:  loop involving service munin-node at depth 1
insserv: Stopping archivesmtp depends on munin-node and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
h1870666:~#

any ideas how to fix this?

Can you post the munin and archivesmtp init scripts?

[Ovidiu]

Sure I can do.

Here is the munin rc script, quite long and the original that comes with the Debian munin version...:

Here is an alternative archivesmtp rc script I got from tis author but it seems not to be Debian compatible either, at least not entirely:

       exit 1

Don't worry about the PATHs inside the scripts, I had adapted them but it was easier to post the original scripts here...

I suggest you try something like

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          archivesmtp
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs
# Should-Start:      $all
# Should-Stop:       $all
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start/stop archivesmtp
# Description:       Start/stop archivesmtp
### END INIT INFO

in the original archivesmtp init script.
