Mine looks mostly like yours, except that mine doesn't have the extraneous -u.

Hell if I can see where that -u is coming from, but if you see it in your
process list, it's coming from somewhere. It doesn't look like that script
should be producing it though; it looks like your -u wants to be a -v.
I've said it before: Redhat packages are wonderful things, but if you want to
understand how things work and not get caught by surprise by things like this,
install qmail and the related programs directly from the sources and write your
own scripts to start them up. Otherwise lots of stuff is going to remain
mysterious and will be much harder to troubleshoot.
