We are currently using SENDMAIL to send emails from our batch jobs.
Periodically my jobs will receive an error:

/etc/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: file /etc/sendmail.cf changed
after open
/etc/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: File changed after open

I turned on debugging and received the following:

Can anyone explain what would cause this problem?
