Subject: email plugin: Don't unlink the socket file on startup.
X-Git-Tag: collectd-4.4.2~4^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d00449bdc71bb7e97e23fc42579a42855afc9492;p=collectd.git

email plugin: Don't unlink the socket file on startup.

Usually, collectd runs as user root, thus making it an unsafe operation to
unconditionally remove the file even though one should be able to assume
that it "belongs" to collectd.
