INTRODUCTION:

This vilter script has been written to simplify the usage of the smtp-vilter
on RedHat systems, so that smtp-vilter can be started and stopped using the 
'service' command. i.e 'service vilter <start|stop|restart>' The script removes
the PID and Socket files that are left, when smtp-vilter is killed. The script 
has been tested on RedHat 7.3 (Kernel version 2.4.18-3).

INSTALLATION:

Copy the vilter script file to the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory as the root user,
ensure that the file priveliges are 755.
run the command 'chkconfig --add vilter'. This will add the vilter script file 
to the start-up/shut-down script files used by the system. type the command 
'chkconfig --list | more' to see vilter listed with it's status in various run 
levels on the system. The command 'ntsysv' can also be used to toggle the state
of the vilter script at system start-up.

USAGE:

To start smtp-vilter, type the command 'service vilter start'.

To stop smtp-vilter, type the command 'service vilter stop'.

To restart smtp-vilter, type the command 'service vilter restart'.
