2.7 Build m4 Macro Reference | 99
If your Unix supports torek I/O, you will benefit in some additional ways. In addition to xf
transcript files (?§11.2.7 on page 401), datafiles (df files) are also buffered (?§11.2.2 on page
398). In future releases of sendmail, other transient files might also be buffered in memory.
If your Unix lacks torek I/O, you can still minimize the impact of xf files by moving them to
a memory-based filesystem, suchas tmpfs. This is done with the QUEUE_DIR configuration
option??™s wildcard extension for multiple queues (see ?§11.3.2 on page 403).
As of V8.12, in-memory buffering of files is universal and no longer requires this Build
macro.
2.7.66 confSTDIR
Location of the statistics file Build macros
The confSTDIR macro defines the location (directory) where the sendmail program??™s statistics
file will be found (see ?§10.4.1 on page 365 for a description of this file). The confSTDIR
macro assigns its value to the STDIR Makefile directive. It is very unlikely that you will
ever have to change this from the value that is predefined for you in your devtools/OS file.
But one reason to relocate this file would be the need to locate it on a read/write disk,
where /etc/mail is mounted read-only:
define(`confSTDIR??, `/var/run/statistics??)
Note that if you redefine this directory, you must also redefine the STATUS_FILE configuration
macro (?§10.
