I'm trying to figure out why courier imap ssl refuses to display the 
status of the process.  I've tried adding both check_pidfile and 
check_process to the startup script, but neither works.

I think the problem is related to the way ps displays the process.  Even 
though courierlogger (the parent process) is located in 
/usr/local/sbin/courierlogger, ps displays it like this:

21842  p2  S      0:00.00 [courierlogger]

Why does ps display the process like this instead of displaying the full 
path?
