           Summary: spamd options - order seems to be important
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: paul.mcilfatrick@bt.com
                CC: paul.mcilfatrick@bt.com


Tried to get spamd to create a pid file.

The following order of options did NOT work:

/usr/perl5/bin/spamd -u mail -d -r /etc/exim/spamd.pid --syslog-socket=inet &

Experimented and found that the following worked:

/usr/perl5/bin/spamd -u mail -r /etc/exim/spamd.pid -d --syslog-socket=inet &


Surely the order of options should not matter?

Hrm.  The order shouldn't matter for options.  SA just calls
Getopt::Long::GetOptions() to deal with the commandline though, so I don't think
there's anything from a SA perspective here if there's misparsing going on.  If
this is still occurring, I'd try upgrading the Getopt::Long module, and then if
that didn't change anything, go debugging in spamd to see if the module is
parsing correctly.
