I have a message in /etc/rc.log

Mount file systems
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount start":
----------------------------
checking quotas
EXIT CODE: 139
"/sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount start" FAILED

and

Hi,

I believe it is coming from newaliases command within sendmail script. But I would check why localmount is failing. If the system is already up and running, then do a mount -a and see if it returns any error. May be one of the OS filesystems is not getting mounted. Once the local mount issue is fixed, then try running /sbin/init.d/sendmail start command manually and see if it works.

When try running /sbin/init.d/sendmail start command manually get message Memory fault

HI

As said the error :-

EXIT CODE: 139
"/sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount start" FAILED

Should be addressed first as this may be the reason sendmail is failing.

Do a mount -a - note which is failing- fix this error first then go to the sendmail fault.

Hi,

Just to check if it is due to 'sendmail' itself or due to /sbin/init.d/sendmail script, run sendmail daemon manually like

#/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q 30m

If it coredumped, then it may be a patch issue.

If it starts, then run

#newaliases

If it coredumped, then check your /etc/mail/aliasese file. And it may be a patch issue as well.

If it is successful, then you will need to further look at your /sbin/init.d/sendmail script. Add 'set -x' at the beginning and see where it is failing.

Try 'mount -a 'first and see why localmount was failing initially.

Did you recently upgrade/patch sendmail?

Sounds like maybe you have mixed versions of commands...or bad library?

which newaliases

what /usr/sbin/newaliases

version should be same as version in:

echo \$Z | /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d
