confNO_STATISTICS_INSTALL
Prevent installation of the statistics file Build macro
The sendmail statistics file is ordinarily installed automatically:
cp /dev/null statistics install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 statistics /etc/mail/statistics
There are legitimate reasons to suppress the
installation of this statistics file. Consider a
site that has written custom software to monitor the
sendmail program’s
performance. Such a site might wish to eliminate the
sendmail statistics file
because it is redundant. To prevent installation of
the statistics file, you can define this confNO_STATISTICS_INSTALL
macro:
define(`confNO_STATISTICS_INSTALL')
With this line in your m4 build
file, the earlier install
line will be eliminated during
installation.
