Re: [Dovecot] imap processes remaing after dovecot shutdown

Hello,

but "-9" option is not a very healthy way of killing processes. I use "killall dovecot imap". But I agree that it should kill them all like it kills imap-auth etc.

that's a workaround, not a straight solution. Why does it work correctly in apache? The Init V script of apache doesn't contain any "killall -9". And at that, I cannot even use this workaround, because I have an instance of dovecot for pop3 and one instance for imap because of different ip-addresses and different authentication. A "killall -9 dovecot" would kill all dovecot processes, although I only want to shutdown one instance.
