Knowing when sendmail has finished processing the mail queue

[Jonathan Guiton]

I've been reveiweing my ip-up script today and noticed that the way
I tell if sendmail has finished processing the Q (so time to drop the
line) is determined thus:

NPR = `ps hx | grep sendmail | grep -v grep | wc -l`
while test $NPC -gt 1
do
        sleep 5
        NPR = `ps hx | grep sendmail | grep -v grep | wc -l`
done

This is particularly unweildy and I just wondered how other
people do it.
