In my opinion this is a benefit of sysV way of doing things over BSD--under solaris, e.g., you do /etc/init.d/sendmail stop; /etc/init.d/sendmail start and you don't have to worry about flags and so on. Unless I'm sadly mistaken and need to take myself out and shoot myself, under freebsd you need to (a) ps -auxx and find the sendmail process and kill it (or use killall, which I never think of b/c I use solaris so much, and killall in solaris does something totally immoral) (b) check the flags for sendmail in /etc/rc.conf, and then (c) run sendmail (which is in /usr/sbin) with those flags. (of course you quickly learn /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h). -- Steve Farrell
