Every month, I like to clear out all the system logs on the Sun Sparc running
4.1.1 so that we can start over with clean log files.  I usually do this
by the command, "cat /dev/null >[path and name of log file]"
	On many of the other log files, I just give a kill -HUP to the process
and everything is OK, but when I clear out the "mailings.log" file, sendmail
does not put any more entries into it.  What is the best way to restart
sendmail so as to keep it running as it was, but allow it to start filling
the log file again?

Thank you.
