for SOCKETMAP. If not, you will either need to contact your vender or download and
build open source sendmail.
3.4.61 SPT_TYPE
Adapt/exclude process title support Port, edit sendmail/conf.h
Whenever a program first begins to run, Unix provides it with two arrays of information:
its command-line arguments, and the environment under which it was run. When you run
ps(1) to see what processes are doing, ps prints the command line that was used to run each
program.
To provide more useful information (suchas current status or host connected to), sendmail
saves its command line and environment, then periodically uses that system space to
display its status. This ability provides a valuable tool for monitoring what each invocation
of sendmail is doing.
The method to display this information is correctly defined in sendmail/conf.c (include/sm/
conf.h with V8.12 and above) for all supported systems. In the rare event that you need to
port sendmail to another system, you can do so by defining SPT_TYPE in sendmail/conf.h.
The values that can be assigned to this SPT_TYPE are listed in Table 3-13.
