qmHandle

• http://qmhandle.sourceforge.net/

qmHandle is a simple program which allows you to view and manage the qmail message queue.

Download from sourceforge and install the binary:

tar xzf qmhandle-1.3.2.tar.gz
cd qmhandle-1.3.2
chown -R root.root .
cp qmHandle /usr/local/bin

if you have a Debian GNU/Linux with its qmail package edit qmHandle and comment out

#my ($stopqmail) = '/etc/init.d/qmail stop';

Patching

Modify /usr/local/bin/qmHandle in this way:

my ($stopqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/qmailctl stop';
my ($startqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/qmailctl start';

in place of

my ($stopqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/svc -d /service/qmail-deliver';
my ($startqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/svc -u /service/qmail-deliver';
