setevoy Aug 13, 2012 #5 Well... I thinks you executed: Code: # killall dovecot and then Code: # ps aux | grep dovecot ?
OP M Mayhem30 Aug 14, 2012 Thread Starter #6 Thank guys, the killall did the trick. I just don't prefer that method - because that tells me something is wrong if it won't shut down normally.
