I have a question regarding the CSWsendmail package installed and running on my Solaris 10 SPARC system.
When I reboot, I see a new message that indicates that a process cannot write to /opt/csw/var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid which is in use by another process. When I check the processes running I see that in addition to the standard sendmail process: root 690 sendmail: accepting connections there are two queue runners: smmsp 614 sendmail: Queue run...@00:15:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue smmsp 680 sendmail: Queue run...@00:15:00 for /opt/csw/var/spool/clientmqueue The first one (614) writes to sm-client.pid and the second one cannot. Now, /var/spool/clientmqueue (and mqueue) are symlinks pointing to /opt/csw/var/spool/clientmqueue (and /opt/csw/var/spool/mqueue), so there is no need for the second process 680, and I'm concerned that running these two processes could actually cause problems. When I check the services running, I see the following relating to sendmail: online 10:39:23 svc:/network/sendmail-client:default online 10:39:24 svc:/network/smtp:cswsendmail Alex Moore, the old sendmail maintainer is retired. Is anyone else managing this package or do you have any insights as to whether this situation represents a potential problem, and if so, where things got off track? Beyond noticing the above, the mail system seems to be working OK. Regards, -- Jeff C.
