Atif,

There is always interest.  ISPman has been pretty dead for several years
but it fills my needs very well.  It excels at supporting mail servers
that process large numbers of emails.  Each of my MX boxes currently
process more then 500,000 emails a day.  That includes Amavis, SA,
ClamAV, etc as well using LDAP for everything under postfix.  Even will
all that running on the boxes there is still room to grow on the boxes.
 These are PIV boxes not power houses.  I have no doubt a new system
with decent IO could do millions.

Once we converted ispman-agent from the daemon that crashed all the time
to a cron task ispman just works and does what we need it to do.
Unfortunately I don't know perl well enough to make it a proper command
line option so I could submit a patch or I would.

For the record I made the following changes to ispman-agent.

Inside the file /opt/ispman/bin/ispman-agent I commented out the
following line.

##      Change from Daemon to cron runable agent.
##        sleep( 60 * $agentFrequency );
        unlink $pid_file && exit(0);

Then created a cron job to run the agent every 5 mins.  You can reduce
the time down some but in my group we found that 5 min that always ran
on the numbers was predictable and manageable.

/etc/cron.d/ispman_agent
#!/bin/bash
*/5 * * * * root /opt/ispman/bin/ispman-agent nodetach

PS I also added to following script on the master ldap system.  For
nightly backups.  It is simple but it keeps ldap happy.
/etc/cron.daily/ispman_daily_maintaince .  Note I run the webservice and
master ldap on the same box so the script might has some dependence on
the full ispman install but I don't think so.

Thanks
Robert
