True enough. You probably want to administer sendmail via the init
script. On my system, that's /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail and takes
arguments of start, stop, restart, and status.
Sendmail's pretty complicated to interact with. Get yourself a copy of
the bat book (O'Reilly, has a bat on the cover) if you want to learn
enough to invoke sendmail by yourself.

Type "jobs" to find out what they are. Then either push them in the
background (via "bg" in most shells) or kill them as seems
appropriate.
