qmail-start

qmail-start(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    qmail-start(8)

NAME

       qmail-start - turn on mail delivery

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-start [ defaultdelivery [ logger arg ...  ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-start  invokes qmail-send, qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn, and qmail-clean, under the proper uids and gids.  These four daemons cooperate
       to deliver messages from the queue.

       qmail-start arranges for qmail-send's activity record to be sent to qmail-start's output.  See qmail-log(5) for the format of the  activity
       record.	Other than this, qmail-start does not print anything, even on failure.

       If defaultdelivery is supplied, qmail-start passes it to qmail-lspawn.

       If logger is supplied, qmail-start invokes logger with the given arguments, and feeds qmail-send's activity record through logger.

       Environment variables given to qmail-start will eventually be passed on to qmail-local, so make sure to clean up the environment if you run
       qmail-start manually:

	  # env - PATH="/var/lib/qmail/bin:$PATH"
	  qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail &
	  (all on one line)

       Resource limits, controlling ttys, et al. are also passed from qmail-start to qmail-local.

       Note that qmail-send normally juggles several simultaneous deliveries.  To reduce qmail-send's impact on other programs, you can run qmail-
       start with a low priority.
