Re: missing ms-init script in MailScanner 5.4.4

I did the same migration. If you are interested, I copied / paste'd each 
and every command that was needed for the install into a script based on 
installations others on and off the list published. I wouldn't run it 
blindly as a script but it might save you a ton of time trying to find out 
where everything is. It took me several weeks to figure it all out.
