Re: making sendmail re-read cf file on signal...

I wrote a script which sits in a loop doing a ps and waiting for the
sendmail daemon to go idle.  Then it kills and restarts it.  There's
still a race condition, of course.  (Between the ps that shows an
idle sendmail and when the script executes the kill command.)
