<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>First you need to identify the '''qmail-send''' process by [[pid]]:<br /> <br /> server# '''ps ax | grep qmail-send'''<br /> 632 con- I 0:02.82 qmail-send<br /> <br /> Then use the [[kill]] command to send that [[pid]] the ALRM signal.<br /> <br /> server# '''kill -ALRM 632'''<br /> <br /> Qmail will now begin attempting to deliver anything in its queue, regardless of whether it's scheduled to retry it yet or not. NOTE: do not substitute the [[killall]] command; under FreeBSD (as of 4.0-6.1) the [[killall]] command does not appear to actually pass the ALRM signal; it just passes the default TERM signal and kills the process entirely. ''Not'' what you're looking for.<br /> <br /> See also: [[Qmail, clearing the queue]], [[Qmail, monitoring the queue]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Common Tasks]]</div>
