I am playing around with a sendmail milter called relay-delay
(greylisting) and I want to try to run this as much as possible out of a
user shell (good luck I guess...it's still rather alpha).

Problem #1 - it's a perl process...
root      1689  0.0  1.2 51496 6412 pts/0    S    01:42
0:02 /usr/bin/perl -w /root/relaydelay-0.04/relaydelay.pl

so first I want to kill it - (i.e. stop script)

kill -15 1689 (seems gentle enough of a kill, drops connection to mysql
db)

so now I want to script it...

/bin/ps aux|grep relaydelay|cut -c9-14|/usr/bin/xargs -n 1 /bin/kill -15

seems like a lot of work to go through but it seems to work...anyone see
a problem here? (note use of cut command - first usage on my own, thanks
to many pluggers)

Problem #2 - starting it - it's a perl process...

I can launch it with /root/relaydelay-0.04/relaydelay.pl & 
probably want 2>&1 > /dev/null

is there a better / more faceless way to deal with it?

I really want it to run it as a daemon but am too uneducated to get
there.
