I'm getting this exact same error. Could anyone offer an idea? Thanks.

It looks like the current toaster setup is not creating the "supervise" directory.

It is, and all four directories seem to be there, but the smtp and submit dirs do not have a 'run'.

I take it back.  Some other things had gone wrong with my most recent toaster install which prevented the supervise directory from being created.

When things go correctly, toaster_setup.pl -s supervise DOES create the supervise directory.

If your run files are missing, then toaster-watcher.pl either has not been run, or is generating an error when you run it.

Okay, getting closer. I think I've discovered the problem.

When running: toaster_setup.pl -s filter

I get to a prompt that says:
It will then generate qmail-scanner-queue.pl - it is up to you to install itcorrectly.Continue? ([Y]/N)


But it doesn't allow me to select an option, and pressing carriage return just starts a new line. I tried running the script in both bash and csh, just in case it was a weird shell thing, but to no avail.

I think I ctrl-c out of it last time and it continued to build (unsuccessfully), and then I forgot to correct it, leaving some files missing that caused my original problem.

I've never seen that particular prompt, so I can't help with that.  However, if you want to start up your SMTP service without qmail-scanner, change the following:

smtpd_qmail_queue               = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

Then toaster-watcher will build your run file.

I just hit CR until it worked. Strange but true.

Did you ever find the cause of these errors?

I'm getting this also.

when I run
#services start

supervise: fatal: unable to start submit/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start submit/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start submit/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start submit/run: file does not exist
supervise: fatal: unable to start submit/run: file does not exist

I had this same problem. I did:
toaster_setup.pl -s filtertoaster_setup.pl -s supervise

when you come to the question about qmail-scanner-queue.pl, answer yes and just let it sit for a few minutes. It should go in a couple of minutes, I think it is just slow.
