Double sendmail processes

[Arthur Sherman]

Bingo!

Output shows:
[root at ns1 log]# ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*|grep -i mail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 May 25 23:10 /etc/rc0.d/K30sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 May 25 23:10 /etc/rc1.d/K30sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 Oct 10 02:56 /etc/rc2.d/S80sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 Oct 10 02:56 /etc/rc3.d/S80sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 Oct 10 02:56 /etc/rc4.d/S80sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 Oct 10 02:56 /etc/rc5.d/S80sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 May 25 23:10 /etc/rc6.d/K30sendmail ->
../init.d/sendmail

Shall I remove them?


Best,
