NAME
       killsm - kill the sendmail daemon

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       reads  the pid file to get the pid number of the currently running dae‐
       mon, and then kills that daemon. The pid file is	 specified  using  the
       option in the file. If this option is not set, uses file as the default
       pid file.

       If the daemon is not killed instantaneously, will not  exit  until  the
       daemon is terminated or after a time interval of 10 seconds.

       The  command  does the same thing as HP recommends that system adminis‐
       trators use and to start and stop these startup scripts are  used  when
       the  system  is booting to start Advanced system administrators can put
       into their search path and just reference to start and to stop it.
