I am running tmda-ofmipd for my smtp server and occasionally it dies. I wonder how I could set it up to run so that if it dies for some reason, it will start up again. Right now, it starts in my rc.local like so; /usr/local/bin/tmda-ofmipd -R imap://localhost -u tofmipd The only way I can think of doing it is to set up a crontab entry to a program that would check if it is still running, and if it is not, then have it start it again. I was hoping there is an easier way, maybe by putting it in inetd.conf or something... --
