[ale] Linux process listing wierdness

[Jim Popovitch]

If I type 'ps ax | grep send' I see this....

3560 ?  S  0:01 sendmail: accepting connections
3567 ?  S  0:00 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:00:30 for /var/spool/mqueue/q1
3569 ?  S  0:00 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:00:30 for /var/spool/mqueue/q2
3573 ?  S  0:00 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:00:30 for /var/spool/mqueue/q3

...until about 1 week later when I see this....

3560 ?  S  0:01 sendmail: accepting connections
3567 ?  S  0:00 [sendmail]
3569 ?  S  0:00 [sendmail]
3573 ?  S  0:00 [sendmail]

Everything still works fine, mail is received, queued, and sent out without any
problems.  

Under what circumstances would Linux change the process listing to
"[sendmail]"?

TIA,

-Jim P.
