daemon invoked without full pathname; kill -1 won't work

has anyone seen this message in mail.log and if so, do you know what caused it? I have 4 entries in mail.log and sendmail stopped receiving and sending.

Mark,

This behaviour appears in changelog of 8.8 version. The linux distribution you use may not have change its startup script to comply this pre-requisite.

Your solution is to modify yourself sendmail invocation in /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail script. Find the full PATH for executable and add it to the startup command. It may solve your problem.

Regards,

Fred
