Sympl-monit detect failure

Problem Description

Past few days I have had an issue with this, and I cannot figure it out myself. If anyone can help that’s be great. I have tried service spamassassin start and just get:
Failed to start spamassassin.service: Unit spamassassin.service not found.

So I reinstalled it but I get the same thing.

Any Error Messages

Can you try running sudo apt install dbus and see if that helps?

Was this installed from a clean image or an upgrade from Bullseye?

Hiya! Sorry to only just reply!

Here is the result:

root@server:~# sudo apt install dbus
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
dbus is already the newest version (1.14.10-1~deb12u1).
dbus set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I am still getting the same issue.

This is an upgrade from Bullseye

Here is some more Info:

root@server:~# systemctl status spamassassin.service
Unit spamassassin.service could not be found.
root@server:~# systemctl status spamassassin
Unit spamassassin.service could not be found.

Could this be why?? Because it cant ind the service? I cant start it manually either.

root@server:~# service spamassassin start
Failed to start spamassassin.service: Unit spamassassin.service not found.

I have finally managed to fix this - I looked through various files and thought I may aswell try and re install spamd too. It seems that spamd had been uninstalled :confused:

That is what was causing the problem! That was the Missing File! run

sudo apt install spamd

and it was absolutely fine thereafter
