Ok

first

ps ax | grep send

[root at gateway mail]# ps ax | grep send
 3402 ?        Ss     0:03 sendmail: accepting
connections

look at the /var/run directory

[root at gateway mail]# ls -lad /var/run/s*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    6 2010-03-11 20:00 /var/run/samba/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root    5 2010-04-13 12:08 /var/run/sshd.pid
drwx------ 4 root  root   54 2010-04-17 05:02 /var/run/sudo/

I see four pid files related to sendmail.


if I cat them

[root at gateway mail]# cat /var/run/sendmail.in.pid
3402
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in -OPidFile=/var/run/sendmail.in.pid

[root at gateway mail]# cat /var/run/sendmail.out.pid
3414
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m -OPidFile=/var/run/sendmail.out.pid

[root at gateway mail]# cat /var/run/sm-client.pid

[root at gateway mail]# cat /var/run/sm-notify.pid
2422

sm-client is empty and sm-notify contains a pid that does not exist

[root at gateway mail]# ps ax | grep 2422
29384 pts/5    D+     0:00 grep --color 2422

should not the sm-client contain pid 3406 and it looks like it should
what generates this file?

if it's a malfunction start/stop script can it be fixed and where do I
go hunting?
