Subject: What is the best way to shut down and restart sendmail

After updating aliases, after running newaliases, I still need to shut 
sendmail down and
restart it.  Is there a 'polite' way to do that?  Or is there a way to 
signal sendmail to reload
the aliases?

When I look at my 'ps' output it looks like there are two instances of 
sendmail running.
One says 'accepting connections'
The other says 'queue runner' (among other things).
Do they both need to be shut down to have the alias changes take effect?
