amavisd-new and ACPI poweroff

[junk]

Hello,

When you press the power button to turn off the computer the process never completes because the amavisd daemon doesn't stop.

Does anybody know anything about this?

OpenBSD 6.6
amavisd-new-2.12.0

No idea, as I'm not a user, but I have several suggestions:

1. If the daemon was enabled through rcctl(8), use # rcctl -d stop amavisd to see where the process hangs. Refer to rc.d(8) for information on the -d flag.
2. Disable the daemon through rcctl(), and after restarting the system, run the daemon manually with debugging, e.g.: # amavisd debug, as outlined in the /usr/local/share/doc/amavisd-new/README file. You can "log" the output with script(1).
3. Contact the port $MAINTAINER, Giovanni Bechis. His Email address is available from $ pkg_info amavisd-new.

Hello again jgimmi!

There seems to be no problem when you stop it manually

# rcctl -d stop amavisd                                                                                   
doing _rc_parse_conf
doing _rc_quirks
amavisd_flags empty, using default ><
doing _rc_parse_conf /var/run/rc.d/amavisd
doing _rc_quirks
doing rc_check
amavisd
doing rc_stop

Waiting for the process [68843] to terminate
Daemon [68843] terminated by SIGTERM
doing _rc_wait stop
doing rc_check
doing _rc_rm_runfile
(ok)

In fact it is possible to shutdown the computer except when using the power button to do so.

I already posted on the mailing list a while ago. This has been hapenning since 6.3 if i'm not wrong. The moment i sent the message i received a reply from Bechis asking for more info on my system but that was all, no solution as far as i know. Don't know why.
