General Solaris 10 Discussion - disabling sendmail once and for all
[210 byte] By [systemjockeya] at [2007-11-26 23:06:20] 
So I'm trying to turn on sendmail on a Solaris10 box, and is run a disable sendmail and the processes die, but then they start back up. Why is this happening and what do I do to make it stop restarting?
# 1
I guess that a process (such as cron) tried to send an email, hence a sendmail was started to take care of it.
My tips is that you check the logs to see what its trying to do and who invoked it. Also ensure that sendmail is capable of delivering root mails and such locally to /var/mail/root .

On solaris10 sendmail is controlled as a service. To disable sendmail run this commandsvcadm disable sendmailjoshspeera at 2007-7-10 13:59:53 >
