Subject:[courier-users] Query re rc.d start up scriptActions...

We are in the process of installing Courier-IMAP on a FreeBSD 4.3 server. We use start/stop scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and have installed the script courier-imap.sysvinit in that directory.

The question that I have is: what is the purpose of the line:

touch /var/lock/subsys/courier-imap

near to the beginning of the script? I know what the command does but what is the purpose of the file?

Regards
