I did what you said and got this:

Wed Jan 19 08:27:32 EST 2000
root in (/) --->ps aux |grep lsv
listserv  25000  0.0  6.5 20.6M  16M ??       I    14:35:50     4:20.52
./lsv
listserv  31292  0.0  0.0 20.6M  96K ??       I    08:26:37     0:00.00
./lsv

lsv
root in (/) --->ps aux |grep sendmail

sendmail
root in (/) --->

Is it possible for just one list to die?
