I ran into a strange problem...
I have a qmail server (for the moment) running on the host os and a qmail server running into a vps and after restart, if the qmail vps is set to run on startup, the qmail server on the host os does not start anymore.
The conclusion is that you cannot run multiple qmail based servers on openvz based vps's.
I fixed the problem (by turning off the qmail vps) but i thought you should know this.

The problem is the supervise program does not start because it's allready started in the vps, if i issue "ps aux | grep supervise " the process appears in the list but is the vps's process not the host's.
For those who do not use qmail the supervise program is responsible for starting qmail's "daemons", something similar to inetd.
The help states that the supervise program does not start if it detects that's allready running. And it seems that it does that by searching it's name in the process list because after i turned off the qmail server vps's the supervise process doesn't show up in the process list anymore!
After a reboot the qmail server on the host system is running fine.
