NetMail on Linux not starting

I'm running NetMail on a SUSE 8 Enterprise server. The server was restarted last night, and now NetMail will not run.

NetMail is the version that came with NNLS, I don't recall the exact version number.

Here is the results of the load attempt:

Is there a more detailed log somewhere?

Mail is down, so if anyone has any ideas, that would be GREAT!
Thanks in advance,

Are all of the other agents still running? Is the process for nmapd still running? Have you tried restarting the nmapd component, by doing a "kilall -9 nmapd" command? It's supposed to re-launch itself...

I don't know if nsure audit logs anything of use for you - I don't know that much about it to be honest.

Are these entries you posted from /var/log/messages?

Oops, miskeyed "killall."

No, the log that I posted was from the terminal when I attempted to start NetMail.

It looks to me like everything that starts loading then unloads. I have manually stopped the services and tried restarting them with the novell-netmail script.

/var/log/messages did not have anything relevant - it was all old stuff.

I only see a shutdown message from NMAPD. Did you check top / KDE system Guard to make sure none of the pieces were there?

Did you check the other entries in var/log to see if there was a log file other than messages that might have the NetMail logging?
