Re: Interpreting commands with sendmail alias...

["Charles Galpin" <cgalpin lighthouse-software com>]

This is most likely an environment issue.

First, check that the full path to the executable is given.

then run ldd on the executable and see what dynamic dependencied it has.
make sure when they are run by sendmail (as root?) that they are satisfied.
You may need to update root's LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

next would be to make sure the program isn't expecting to be in a particular
directory and looking for a file with a relative path or something.
