RE: I can't run sendmail normally

Another way is to run "/sbin/halt -p" as root (or su'd in as root). If this
is on a P2 machine with an ATX powersupply, it will shutdown the power, too.

sendmail is rarely invoked directly - if you want to send mail to another
user, use

mail [-s "subject"] address [< optional_prepared_textfile]

if you need to send something from the command line, else use pine or elm
