Umm, I just noticed the wrong thought I had there: There's no
point in sending a notification mail message over a (yet)
unconfigured email channel (we remember: sendmail is yet to
start ...). Would an ALL_CAPITALIZED printout right next to the
"echo ' sendmail'" suffice to catch the admin's attention?
SENDMAIL CONFIG FILES RENAMED, LOOK AT /etc/mail!
or some such? With a pointer to the sendmail RELNOTES or where
the file renaming motivation is explained?
Or am I completely in need of sitting down and rethinking again
and the present $NEWFILE with a not yet running sendmail daemon
is enough to send out(! not receive from the net) a message to
the local postmaster? I almost think it is ...
Of course all this doesn't touch the point I made in replying:
