NAME
killsm — kill the sendmail daemon
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.
