Problem with sendmail

Pippo_9 — Mon, 03 May 2004 03:26:37 GMT

Hi all.

I have got this problem with sendmail (currently installed version is 8.11.1 on HP-UX 11.00):

I have launched gen_cf in order to set up sendmail config files but got the following error:

./gen_cf
CFDIR=: Command not found.
Badly placed ()'s.

Is there anyone out there to suggest me a possible solution?

Thanks

JPM

Hi,

Could you set -v in the top of the config file and ./gen_cfg again. This will give you more info.

HTH,

Gideon

Yeah - run it like this:

cd /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf

./gen_cf test.cf

Hello,

Use /sbin/sh as your shell. The symptoms you describe come from using csh and possibly tsch.

Hope that helps,

The possible solution posted by Brian has solved my problem (csh shell was actually set instead of /sbin/sh).

Thanks a lot
