Another good reason to use daemontools...
Part of my init script...

echo "Sending ALRM signal to qmail-send."
svc -a /var/lock/qmail/send
Sends an ALRM signal and forces the queue to process.

BEWARE: "killall" has different meanings on different OS's. On
linux and FreeBSD, it sends the desired signal to the process named
on the command line. On Solaris, it sends a TERM signal to ALL
processes, effectively performing a shutdown.
It's better to suggest a more generic solution, like:
kill -1 <pid of qmail-send>
and let the user determine the pid of qmail-send themselves.
