Need a little cgi (sendmail) help...

[InsaneMidget]

Is there a little script I can download somewhere that will tell me the path to sendmail? My server uses ensim software and can't get used to it. I need to know the path to send mail, please help, thanks!


btw, I don't believe it's the normal path....

I'm sure there's a command for the telnet prompt, but it escapes me right now. Check the support pages for your host, it should say there.

Standard is something like:
/bin/usr/local/sendmail

Fuck it's been so long since I've used it, don't remember.

Thanks man, I tried that path again and nothing. Also, the help files are shit from host, they only talk about it being there, not where it is or any techical details about it. Thanks though.

Anyone got a solution? Thanks

On Ensim/RH server it should be in /usr/lib/sendmail

I really suggest you to read more about the "locate" command by typing "man locate" from your command prompt. A very useful utility for finding files on your system.

which sendmail will tell you if its in your path

whereis sendmail will poke around a bit more, sometimes a link to locate or slocate

to answer the question, need to know
the OS, but assume /usr/lib/sendmail

I'm going to guess that you have a rackshack server (ensim and no support).
Sendmail is at:
/usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail
