I've tried adding both check_pidfile and=20 check_process to the startup script, but neither works. I think the problem is related to the way ps displays the process. Even=20 though courierlogger (the parent process) is located in=20 /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=20 path?
