You'll be better off with something like: /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m (or whatever your rc.conf file uses to bring sendmail up in the first place)... The PID file tells you the PID sendmail was running as - once it's dead the PID is useless (it'll get another PID when it next comes up - very probably a different one ;-) Regards, Kp Kwoody wrote: > > I killed sendmail with kill `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid` > > now how to do I restart it with the tail command?
