Okay, so you're not running in daemon mode. Check /etc/init.d/sendmail and search for the variable "MODE". (Note that I'm running Solaris 8 at home and I'm not sure of, if any, differences).
In Solaris 8, the /etc/init.d/sendmail script will source /etc/default/sendmail setting various environment variables: MODE, QUEUEINTERVAL, and OPTIONS. These are used to call /usr/lib/sendmail. Verify that this is true for Solaris 9 (it should be). You see something like this in the init script:
if [ -f /etc/default/sendmail ]; then
. /etc/default/sendmail
fi
Then create /etc/default/sendmail as:
Stop and start sendmail with the init script and you should see:
Be prepared that this will open a whole can of worms with regard to email security. You current mode is sufficient -- with some tweaking of /etc/mail/sendmail.cf -- to route mail off of the system but it prevents email coming into or being routed by it, either intentionally or maliciously.
I am not by any means a UNIX guru if you can't already tell by the question I'm about to ask.
How do I launch Apache web server on my SOlaris 8 server without rebooting it?
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Whenever I start nfs/server using "svcadm -v enable" it appears to start up. But when I look for daemons such as nfsd I don't see any. So I checked the manifest logs for nfs/server and it's telling me the NFS service gets enabled and then immediately disabled with a stop 102.
