masqmail

annotate tests/README @ 421:f37384470855

Changed lockdir to /var/lock/masqmail; Create lockdir and piddir on startup. Moved the lockdir out of the spool dir. (When /var/lock is a ramdisk we do well to have the lock files there.) Added the new configure option --with-lockdir to change that location. Nontheless, if we run_as_user, then lock files are always stored in the spool dir directly. Instead of installing the lockdir and piddir at installation time, we create them on startup time now if they are missing. This is necessary if lockdir or piddir are a tmpfs.

meillo@63 1 This directory contains test cases for masqmail, one in each directory.
meillo@0 2
meillo@63 3 Build the test scripts be running
meillo@63 4 make
meillo@63 5 in the directory. You can build all of them by running
meillo@63 6 make
meillo@63 7 in the tests directory.
meillo@0 8
meillo@63 9 Run the test by executing
meillo@63 10 ./test
meillo@63 11 in its directory, preferably NOT as root, but you got to have write
meillo@63 12 permission for the directory.

meillo@63 15 Usually, two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log, will be created.
meillo@63 16 They may give some information if anything went wrong.
meillo@0 17
meillo@63 18 The README files in the test case directories explain the tests in
meillo@63 19 more detail.

meillo@63 22 FIXME: Currently, the return values of the test scripts don't express
meillo@63 23 if the test was successful or not.

meillo@63 25
meillo@63 26 If tests do not work, there could be some problem with either the test
meillo@0 27 programs, the configuration file or masqmail itself. If you have
meillo@0 28 installed masqmail successfully and these scripts do not work, do not
meillo@0 29 worry too much :-).

meillo@64 32 The original test scripts are by oku.
meillo@64 33 They were rearranged and extended by meillo.
