Anyone know why?

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.

[Lev]

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

[davidcl]

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.

[davidcl]

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.
