Unknown Linux Command

Greetings,

I copied the following command from the Server World website and tried to execute it bit it is invalid.

Can someone try to tell me what is trying to be done here and what real command was trying to be executed. The 'd' seems to be invalid.

# create new

d /var/run/clamd.amavisd 0755 amavis amavis -

Thanks

It is not a command.

It is a line to be entered into /etc/tmpfiles.d/clamd.amavisd.conf

Thank you. Could you please explain then, what is the purpose of this line within the indicated file? What will happen regarding the 'd' ?

[root@mail ~]# vi /etc/tmpfiles.d/clamd.amavisd.conf
# create new

d /var/run/clamd.amavisd 0755 amavis amavis -

Thanks

It appears, according to https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-s...ispconfig-3-p5 to create the directory at startup (that reference uses capital d's so I assume the "commands" in the config file are case-insensitive).

I have to admit that I'd never heard of any of this until you posed your question, I just thought that I should help you out by looking at the source and then using my GoogleFu. So, I would highly recommend that you read the documentation for the programs that you're trying to use and also do some good internet searching in order to succeed in this project.
