sendmail startup script?

2005-02-23 Thread Ken Hawkins
I am in the midst of reconfiguring sendmail on a box to forward the 
mail from the domain to another box (true mail smtp box). is there a 
script that I can call similar to what is in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d 
area? how does sendmail konw what flags to set in the command on 
startup?

btw my line from ps'ing is:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -oi -t
thanks in advance!

/etc/rc.conf contains the flags for Sendmail.

The /etc/rc.sendmail script can be used to stop, start or restart the
Sendmail daemon processes.

 btw my line from ps'ing is:

 /usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -oi -t

This doesn't look like a daemon invocation of Sendmail (i.e. no -bd
flags are present).  The -t option means it's probably an invocation of
Sendmail from another user process, which is currently posting a
message.
