That seems a bit crude. :) I wrote a cronjob like that, in Perl; but,
based on 'ps' output, it only kills sendmail child processes that have
been *idle* for over 10 minutes.

But with this blanket kill, you also kill connections that may have just
been there for a few seconds, and are still very much alive.
