Patch file for /etc/init.d/sendmail to use $DAEMON correctly none

Description Jesse Keating 2002-11-15 00:26:50 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b)
Gecko/20021029 Phoenix/0.4

Description of problem:
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail sets a DAEMON var, to tell sendmail to start with -bd or
not.  /etc/init.d/sendmail doesn't use this var, so no matter what is set,
sendmail uses -bd anyway.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHL
2. View /etc/init.d/sendmail
	

Actual Results:  DAEMON is not used.

Expected Results:  DAEMON value should be checked, and sendmail will be started
using the right options.

Comment 2 Stephen Walton 2002-11-15 17:00:12 UTC 
It would be sufficient for the daemon line to be changed to the one from RedHat
7.3, viz:

       daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail $([ "$DAEMON" = yes ] && echo -bd) \
                                  $([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q$QUEUE)
Comment 3 Florian La Roche 2002-11-19 07:40:29 UTC 
http://people.redhat.com/laroche/sendmail-8.12.6-3 has this fixed. Can you
please test if this works for you, otherwise open up a new bug-report?

Thanks,
