In this case, sendmail.pid stores sendmail server's pid. It looks like your change will cause two server processes to get started? Is this really what you want? Is it supported? If you're just adding command options to the server process, would it be reasonable to try
OPTION="$OPTION -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in" and keep the original sendmail command /usr/lib/sendmail $MODE -q$QUEUEOPTION$QUEUEINTERVAL $OPTIONS & -tony
