I am having trouble finding the process, or subsystem, sendmail running on our client's server. They are runnning AIX version 5.3.9.0. When I run "ps -ef | grep sendmail" I only get my current ps process as a match. Running "ps -ef | more" and wading through the results also does not show sendmail as running.
Ultimately what I attempting to do is restart the sendmail service by running "refresh -s sendmail" but that tells me:
0513-036 The request could not be passed to the sendmail subsystem.
Start the subsystem and try your command again.
I have confirmed that sendmail is indeed running by using it to send mail.
I'm not an expert in UNIX or any of its flavours by any means so I thought I would put it out there for advice and guidance.
