sendmail queue runner starting multiple times...

[John-Mark Gurney]

I noticed that if you start sendmail, it doesn't detect that the
mail queue runner is already running and starts it up multiple times...

My proposed patch is:
--- /usr/src/etc/rc.d/sendmail  2013-01-12 21:34:02.000000000 -0800
+++ /tmp/sendmail.rc    2013-09-16 14:45:21.000000000 -0700
@@ -93,7 +93,7 @@
 
 name="sendmail_clientmqueue"
 rcvar="sendmail_msp_queue_enable"
-start_cmd="${command} ${sendmail_msp_queue_flags}"
 pidfile="${sendmail_mspq_pidfile:-/var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid}"
+start_cmd="[ -z \"`check_pidfile "${pidfile}" "${command}"`\" ] && ${command} ${sendmail_msp_queue_flags} && _run_rc_postcmd"
 required_files="/etc/mail/submit.cf"
 run_rc_command "$1"


This is because setting start_cmd disables the pid checks, so we need
to add them back...  This patch won't print out the already running
bit, but we also don't print out the fact that we are starting it, it
doesn't seem like that big of a loss..

Is there a better way?  If someone else doesn't produce a better patch,
I'll get re's permission to commit in few days...

Thanks.

P.S. Please CC me, I'm not on the list.
