Description Trevor Curtis 2002-11-14 19:28:51 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
In the /etc/init.d/sendmail, the script does not use the "DAEMON" varible when
starting the sendmail daemon:

daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd /

To me, this would suggest that the "-bd" would be used regardless of the value
of DAEMON.

The result is that the value of DAEMON in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail never gets
used, and sendmail always run in DAEMON "mode".


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(n/a)
	

Actual Results:  Sendmail always runs with "-bd" invoked.

Expected Results:  The script should read the DAEMON variable (from
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail) and apply it appropriately. 

something like this:
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail $([ "$DAEMON" = yes ] && echo -bd) \
                                  $([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q$QUEUE)
