NAME

killsm — kill the sendmail daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/killsm

DESCRIPTION

killsm reads the /etc/mail/sendmail.pid file to find the pid number of the currently running sendmail daemon, and then kills that daemon. The ``/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop'' command does the same thing.

HP recommends that system administrators use ``/sbin/init.d/sendmail start'' and ``/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop'' to start and stop sendmail; these startup scripts are used when the system is booting to start sendmail. Advanced system administrators can put /usr/sbin into their search path and just reference ``sendmail -bd -q30m'' to start sendmail, and killsm to stop it.

The previous sendmail -bk option of former releases is no longer supported.
