I don't know how Linux handles this, but my sendmail 8.6.12 on a
NetBSD 1.1 machine has a two-lines file /var/run/sendmail.pid.
The first line holds the proces ID, the second one repaets the
command line used to invoke sendmail.

$ cat -n /var/run/sendmail.pid
1: 27731
2: sendmail -bd -q15m

So I have to call
$ kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`

-cr
