Starting the sendmail daemon

To start the sendmail daemon, enter either of the following commands:

startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q15"

/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15

If the sendmail daemon is already active when you enter one of these commands, you see the following message on the screen:

The sendmail subsystem is already active. Multiple instances are not supported.

If the sendmail daemon is not already active, then you see a message indicating that the sendmail daemon has been started.
