No, the names of these files are pased on the pid of the sendmail
process that first put teh message in the queue, which may be
sufficient for dealing with this lossage but I wouldn't count on it.
The main reason I chose the find command I didwas that I didn't want
to grovel over ps output even if I could determin the pid to look for,
and I didn't know how to get find to examine times with a finer
granularity than days. If anyone wants to come up with a more clever
program than my find script feel free, but we should do @i[something].
Was this discussed at the release team meeting at all? Unfortunately
I missed it and I haven't seen minutes yet.
