25 is the upper limit

Jim

Once again, thanks for your script. I tested it out and found out that there is a upper limit of 25. Contrary to what I thought, it looks like 25 is not the limit of "wait" but apparantly it is the limit on number of background job I can submit.

If I want to run the archive script for even 26 times, it gives me following error:

bg.ksh[6]: cannot fork - try again

I guess this is some sort of limit set by sysadmin??

Anyways, for the time being, i guess that would serve my purpose.

Thanks again

NAME
qpsmtpd-forkserver - Fork-on-demand server for qpsmtpd SYNOPSIS
qpsmtpd-forkserver [options] DESCRIPTION
qpsmtpd-forkserver is the qpsmtpd frontend script which binds to the SMTP TCP socket and forks as clients connect. OPTIONS
--port port, -p port Binds to a specific port, instead of the default 2525. --user user, -u user On startup, switch to run as user instead of the starting user. Applies only when started as root (as is normal when listening on port 25). --limit-connections limit, -c limit Accept at most limit simultaneous connections. Inbound connections beyondthis limit will be deferred or refused. --max-from-ip limit, -m limit Accept at most limit simultaneous connections from any given IP address; does not override --limit-connections, if set. --listen-address addr, -l addr Bind to the local address addr, instead of the default behavior of binding to all interfaces. Can be specified multiple times to bind to more than one interface or local address. --detach, -d Detach from the controlling terminal at startup, to run as a standalone daemon. See also --pid-file. --pid-file filename Upon startup, and after daemonizing if applicable, write the process ID to filename, for use by sysvinit control scripts or similar utilities. AUTHOR
