Hi Managers,
On Solaris 8 or 9 if I run /etc/init.d/sendmail stop and check the exit 
code it's 208 not 0 as per the script

# tail /etc/init.d/sendmail
'stop')
         /usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 sendmail
         ;;

*)
         echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
         exit 1
         ;;
esac
exit 0
# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
# echo $?
208

# /etc/init.d/sendmail start
# echo $?
0
# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
# echo $?
208
#

-- 



Cheers
