Thanks, Scott - I should have spotted that myself, as I
correctly programmed an aliased shell command like this:

          restart_spamd   virtual spamd -d .....

Oh well, at least I can assure my users that it won't happen
again.

Quick question:

I now have the rc file command written like this:

  /usr/local/bin/virtual ~/usr/local/bin/spamd -d  .....

Note the tilde ~ before the path to spamd. I'm realizing
that I probably don't need this following the virtual
command, but I want to confirm that it will work this way.  I
think its just force of habit that compels me to always
include the ~ when specifying a virtual path.
