+#   The script has been modified in order to give enough time to Mysqld to 
+#   create the sock file. I have this necessity because tpop3d verifies the 
+#   connection before starting and my system goes up quickly.
+#   This script tests the presence of mysql.sock file for 10 times with 1  
+#   second of pause betwen each retry.
+#   If the check fails it tries to start tpop3d anyway.
+#   If mysql.sock exists when the script starts, no pause occours.

+#   A T T E N T I O N !!
