Failed to re-start service : initctl: Unknown job: spamassassin

Virtlialmin is giving the following error on attempt to restart Spamassassin:

Failed to re-start service : initctl: Unknown job: spamassassin

I then successfully stop it in SSH with 'service spamassassin stop', Refresh system information on Virtualmin to see that "SpamAssassin Filter Server" is stopeed. But then if I try to start it in Virtualmin, it gives:

Failed to start service : The SpamAssassin filter server could not be started

So I have to start it again in SSH and refresh system information to see normal status.

var/log/messages gives no relevant messages.

What version of Webmin are you using?

The 1.610 release that just came out a few days ago resolved some issues similar to that.

My system for some reason didn't update to 1.610. System information shows:

Operating system
CentOS Linux 6.3
Webmin version 1.600
Virtualmin version 3.97.gpl GPL
Theme version 8.5
Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686 on i686

Package information shows:

Updatable package information
Package name webmin
Update system YUM
Package description A web-based administration interface for Unix systems.
Current state Running latest 1.600-1
Installed version 1.600-1
Available version 1.600-1
Installation source installed

How can I upgrade to 1.610?

I've asked Jamie to look into an issue with the repositoru... but you can download it manually from here in the meantime:

Thanks, but I don't want to mess up something and prefer to wait until able to upgrade in usual way through yum or Virtualmin's UI.

Actually, Jamie said he fixed it... try running 'yum update', and see if the new Webmin gets pulled down.
