NAME

/usr/sbin/killsm − kills the sendmail daemon

SYNOPSIS

killsm

DESCRIPTION

killsm reads the /etc/mail/sendmail.pid file to find the pid number of the currently running sendmail daemon, and then kills that daemon. The /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop command does the same thing. 

HP recommends that system administrators use "/sbin/init.d/sendmail start" and "/sbin/init.s/sendmail stop" to start and stop sendmail; these startup scripts are used when the system is booting to start sendmail.  Advanced system administrators can put /usr/sbin into their search path and just reference "sendmail -bd -q30m" to start sendmail, and "killsm" to stop it. 

The previous sendmail -bk option of former releases is no longer supported.
