Must have been related to my strange problems reported in #85864. After reinstalling the sendmail rpm it works fine now. |
Description of problem: I noted that sendmail fails to write the pid file for sm-client: Mar 9 20:08:12 keen sm-msp-queue[10674]: unable to write /var/run/sm-client.pid: Permission denied Hence the corresponding process does not get stopped by the initscript. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.12.8-1.80 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. service sendmail start 2. cat /var/run/sm-client.pid 3. Actual results: pid file is empty Expected results: pid written to pid file Additional info: 1) ervice sendmail restart will fail to stop sm-client. 2) removing the "touch /var/run/sm-client.pid" line from the init script seems to fix the problem.
