I looked at a ps -e listing of the current processes...

and there were at least 25 sendmail processes running.

What could cause sendmail to be run more than once? I thought that
the only place that sendmail was invoked was by init on startup.

I've rebooted the machine a few times, and this doesn't seem to help.
Killing all but one of the processes doesn't work either.


OH-- also when running osview.... there are alway around 60-70 graphics
interrupts every second, and about 250-300 system interrupts a second.
EVEN when the machine is just sitting there with only one user!!

	
	Problems... Problems...
