Spamassassin spamd doesn't start on boot

[vayu]

I recently installed Spamassassin and it's working well but I have to start it everytime on boot up with "service spamassassin start".  A ps grep for spamd before doesn't show it loaded but after does and then it works fine for the rest of the day.  There is a spamassassin.service in /lib/systemd/system/ and there's also a script at /etc/init.d/spamassassin.  Could someone help me get spamassassin working automatically on start up?

Please show us the content of the scripts/service-fiels you mention above. Do they have an [install]-section?

Here's the systemd script:
cat /lib/systemd/system/spamassassin.service

Code Select Expand

[Unit]
Description=Perl-based spam filter using text analysis

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/spamassassin.pid
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/spamassassin
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spamd -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamassassin.pid $OPTIONS
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Here's the init script:
cat /etc/init.d/spamassassin | siduction-paste

Normally the Install-section in the servicefile should work, so if you not only start it (that's one shot only) but enable it (that's kind of installation) with

Code Select Expand


systemctl enable spamassassin.service

it should be loaded by multi-user.target from then on.

systemctl enable spamassassin.service


Thanks! That worked.
