When ever we run sendmail ( or mail which exec's sendmail) from a bourne shell, sendmail dies with the following error "cannot open /usr/lib/sendmail.cf: Invalid argument" it seems to choke on the sendmail.cf pathname because of the environment variable used in the /usr symlink, ie. ls -l /usr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 14 Oct 26 16:22 /usr -> $(systype)/usr If I move sendmail.cf or make /usr a non-variable symlink, sendmail works ok. Other environment variable things seem to work ok from the Bourne shell. sendmail works well from a c shell. Anybody know what the problem is with the bourne shell, environment variables and sendmail? Woody Kellum lwk@caen.engin.umich.edu
