Re: initd script does not stop/restart all dovecot processes

Hi everyone,
On Debian Jessie servers, I use initd script provided by Dovecot 2.2 (in doc/dovecot-initd.sh) and when I stop or restart dovecot service, it still remains some process :
ps aux | grep dove dovecot 1798 0.0 0.1 9408 2116 ? S 16:15 0:00 dovecot/anvil [1 connections] root 1799 0.0 0.1 9544 2288 ? S 16:15 0:00 dovecot/log dovecot 1812 0.0 0.2 39144 5720 ? S 16:15 0:00 dovecot/auth [0 wait, 0 passdb, 0 userdb] root 1844 0.0 0.1 12728 2076 pts/0 S+ 16:16 0:00 grep dove
Is it expected ? "restart" does not work of course, and "start" after "stop" too.
How can I fix this ?
Debian Jessie comes with systemd so you really should not use initscript anymore but switch to systemd for starting dovecot. There is systemd service description file available for you in case your vendor does not provide it in the package:

I have the same experience, that Dovecot keeps running for a while. An immediate stop & start always fails. IMHO, that behaviour started with the introduction of anvil.
If the ps command lists all processes, that is what I see on Jessie and Squeeze as well.
@Florent: Please check, if the Dovecot processess dies after some timeout. I have patched the scripts to wait 5s then send an extra HUP and after 5s INT.
