endless notify's

[august macbeth]

Neil, 

after shutting down/manually killing all the processes i'm still getting
the RESENT messages sent every 5 minutes. 

lemme check out a few things: 

diablo# argusctl shutdown
ARGUS/2.0 200 OK
[1]+  Killed                  argusctl -k console  (wd: /var/argus)
(wd now: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin)

...checked to see, and there are no argus processes running. starting it
back up:

/etc/init.d/argus start prints this to the syslog: 

Apr  9 13:38:55 diablo Argus[25777]: syslog configured: daemon
Apr  9 13:38:57 diablo Argus[25777]: Control server: listening on
unix//var/argus/control
Apr  9 13:38:57 diablo Argus[25777]: successful restart - Argus running

...but right after that last line, i could see postfix sending out
another notify about snmp being down so something is still sending it
out.. 

what about manually removing everything in notify/ is that safe to do?
