Start/Stop scripts for the standalone maildrop daemon

  This README explains what the files in this folder do and how to use them.
  All these scripts depend on you having edited config.py in the toplevel
  MaildropHost folder to reflect your environment. Some of them require 
  additional editing before use!

  start_maildrop

    Basic start script to start up the maildrop daemon. All configuration
    is taken from config.py, no additional editing needed.

  stop_maildrop

    Basic stop script to stop the maildrop daemon. No additional editing
    needed.

  start_maildrop.bat

    Startup script suitable for Windows. Its correctness or working order
    cannot be guaranteed since I do not use Windows.

  maildrop-redhat

    Combined start/stop script that interoperates with the RedHat way of
    controlling services and daemons. This script *needs editing* at the 
    top so it knows where to locate the maildrop files when run at 
    startup and it knows what user account to run under.

    Edit the MAILDROP_USER and SOFTWARE_HOME values at the top of the script.
    Then all you need to do is copy or link it into /etc/rc.d/init.d and 
    ensure that it gets run on system start/system shutdown by using 
    the chkconfig utility, like so::

      $ /sbin/chkconfig --add maildrop-redhat

    This will take care of all activation. You can, as root, use this::

      $ /sbin/service maildrop-redhat {start|stop|restart}

    to control the service.

  maildrop-suse

    Combined start/stop script that interoperates with the SuSE way of
    controlling services and daemons. This script *needs editing* at the 
    top so it knows where to locate the maildrop files when run at 
    startup and it knows what user account to run under.

    Edit the MAILDROP_USER and SOFTWARE_HOME values at the top of the script.
    Then all you need to do is copy or link it into /etc/rc.d and 
    ensure that it gets run on system start/system shutdown by using 
    the chkconfig utility, like so::

      $ /sbin/chkconfig --add maildrop-suse

    This will take care of all activation. You can, as root, use this::

      $ /etc/rc.d/maildrop-suse {start|stop|restart}

    to control the service.
