238 | Chapter 6: The sendmail Command Line
6.7.16 -bz
Freeze the configuration file Not V8
Prior to V8 sendmail, th e-bz command-line switchcaused sendmail to build (or rebuild) its
frozen configuration file (now obsolete). The frozen configuration file was just a simple
image of sendmail??™s variables after it had read and parsed the configuration file. The
purpose of the frozen file was to enable sendmail to start up more swiftly than it could
when parsing the configuration file from scratch.*
The -bz command-line switch is obsolete. If you use it with V8 and higher sendmail, you
will see this error message:
Frozen configurations unsupported
6.7.17 -C
Location of the configuration file All versions
The -C command-line switchtells sendmail where to find its configuration file. The form of
the -C switch is:
-C path
WithV8 sendmail, space between the -C and the path is optional. The path specifies the
location of the configuration file. That location can be either a relative or a full pathname.
If path is missing, the location becomes the file sendmail.cf in the current directory.
The -C command-line switchcauses sendmail to internally mark the configuration file as
unsafe.
