I got bit by this when I upgraded to some Sendmail 8.X I can't remember, and there were *two* lines in sendmail.pid - the actual pid, and the argv[] array used if we need to re-exec ourselves. So the 'cat' had to be changed to a 'head -1'. I seem to remember that the kill -HUP was overkill for Sendmail 8, and that a simple newaliases sufficed. Apparently, it now does a stat() call or something once in a while to see if anybody updated the files out from under it ;) Your Mileage May Vary.
