In Debian:
Check your /root/.bashrc file for these lines
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fiIf they do not exist add them to the end of the file using your favorite text editor.
In CentOS:
# yum install bash-completion
Go to CPAN Search website and search for the module that you wish to download. In this example, let us search, download and install XML::Parser Perl module. I have downloaded the XML-Parser-2.36.tar.gz to /home/download
# cd /home/download # gzip -d XML-Parser-2.36.tar.gz # tar xvf XML-Parser-2.36.tar # cd XML-Parser-2.36
# perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for XML::Parser::Expat Writing Makefile for XML::Parser # make # make test
# make install
This is for reference purposes for those who get the error:
# qmailctl start
qmail-send supervise not running
qmail-smtpd supervise not running
Though the solution for me was simple, it took quite a while to track down.
The problem was during my install of daemontools, I did not want to restart my server (don't like resetting my uptime :-p ), even though the instructions said I should. This caused the problem that 'svscanboot' was not running, though it would have been started after a reboot. Well, I saved my uptime and solved the problem with one simple command:
# svscanboot &
Now when I start and stop qmail I get:
# qmailctl start
Starting qmail
# qmailctl stop
Stopping qmail...
qmail-smtpd
qmail-send
