Can't stop SpamAssassin - Debian7 - Fresh install

[mehargags]

I just installed a new server with Debain7 and VestaCP. Surprisingly I'm not able to stop it via VestaCP's Services page or from the command line:

Code: Select all

$ /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop
Stopping SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: No /usr/bin/perl found running; none killed.
spamd.

I've never encountered this before, anyone have any ideas ? don't know how to resolve the Dependency

No Perl in system? O_o

Try to:

Code: Select all

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

first and

Code: Select all

apt-get install perl

.

I don't see those error with spamassain earlier, it's worked fine... proof:

$ /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop
Stopping SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd.
$ /etc/init.d/spamassassin start
Starting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd.

I do have Perl installed...

Code: Select all

$: perl -v
This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

Something is weird, service spamassassin/spamd is not recognized.
pgrep -l spam give me nothing either!

my /etc/default/spamassassin has

Code: Select all

PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid"

Ps -aux doesn't show any spam* process either...!
