#
# popfile
#
# A shell-script wrapper for popfile designed for use in the SysV-init
# system (/etc/init.d).
#
#
# usage: popfile { start | stop | restart | }
#
# See also: LSB, start_daemon (lsb), startproc (suse), install_initd (lsb),
# insserv (suse), /usr/share/doc/initscripts*/sysvinitfiles (redhat)

##
# RedHat comment block...
#
# chkconfig: 345 80 20
# description: popfile is a POP3 proxy and mail filter
# pidfile: /var/run/popfile.pid # processname: popfile
#
#
##
# LSB comment block...
#
# The bogus 345 run-levels are a workround for a buggy RedHat chkconfig which
# reads the LSB comment block (incorrectly) as an undocumented 'feature'.
