By default, ANY .sh file located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d is executed at
startup. You do not need to put any calls to them anywhere; /etc/rc
should already call them. Try doing a 'ps -ax' and see if exim/mysql are
running. Yes, echo 'sendmail_enable="no"' >>/etc/rc.conf , is the only
thing you need to do to disable sendmail; do not remove it.
