On Solaris we check a few key things.  First is the listserv running.
This is done with the following command: ps -ef | grep lsv.  lsv is the
listserv process.  Then make sure that the sendmail process is running
with the same command: ps -ef | grep sendmail.  This is the best place
to start.

I am using LISTSERV ver 1.8d with sendmail 8.8 on a Dec Alpha UNIX
Server
running ver 4.0e.  I am concerned because I inherited this application
from
another who has left.  Where do I start checking?
