Installing PMDF and PMDF layered productsPost-Installation Tasks for New Sitesthe post.sh shell script runs to different values on different nodes to better balancemail flow.Typical scheduling for such cron jobs can be established by issuing the commands:# su pmdf$ crontab /pmdf/table/cronjobs$ exitNote: If you want to set up site-specific cron entries manually, perform the following steps:Become the pmdf user:# su pmdfEdit the crontab entries by using the following command:$ crontab -eUse the editor to add entries similar to the following:30 0 * * * /pmdf/bin/return.sh >/pmdf/log/return.log-`/pmdf/bin/unique_id` 2>&10 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /pmdf/bin/post.sh >/pmdf/log/post.log-`/pmdf/bin/unique_id` 2>&1The first value in the second line, shown as 0 in the above example, is the minutesafter-the-houroffset. If you have multiple PMDF nodes, then this is a value that youmight want to stagger between different nodes. For example, 0 on one node, 10 on asecond node, 20 on a third node, etc. Also note the use of log files in the above. Theselog files can be useful in tracking down problems with the operation of return.shand post.sh.Make sure to exit from the pmdf user shell when you have finished adding theseentries. For example,$ exit6. Replace the sendmail system startup script with PMDF’s pmdf startup script. Thismay be performed by issuing the command:# /pmdf/bin/symlink installNote that the effect of the /pmdf/bin/symlink may be undone by issuing thecommand:# /pmdf/bin/symlink backoutNote: If you need to set up the pmdf startup script by hand, perform the following steps:In each of the directories /etc/rcx.d there are files whose names begin with eitherthe letter ‘‘K’’ or the letter ‘‘S’’, followed by a two-digit number, followed by a commandname. Remove the links where this command name is sendmail, and create acorresponding link with pmdf substituted for sendmail, making sure to use thesame inital letter and two-digit number.For example, you might see links such as the following:1–10

When installing PMDF for the first time, or after an upgrade of the operating systemif that upgrade installed a new version of sendmail, you must replace sendmailwith PMDF’s sendmail.Note that the symlink script that you executed in the previous step will have alreadyperformed this operation. But in case you need to do it by hand, for example afteran upgrade of the operating system, the steps are as follows.First save the original sendmail by renaming it to sendmail.org, and then createa symbolic link that links sendmail to /pmdf/bin/sendmail as follows:# mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.org# ln -s /pmdf/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmailYou should also kill any old, pre-PMDF sendmail processes which might exist andbe accepting connections. This may also be necessary if an operating system upgradestarts up non-PMDF sendmail processes. (Note that killing such processes is notnecessary after an upgrade of PMDF. Even after the first installation of PMDF orafter an upgrade of the operating system, there will be no non-PMDF sendmail1–11
