Flush queue - don't have qmailctl

I read that one way to flush the queue is <qmailctl flush>. But I don't have qmailctl. If I want to create it, where and how?

Is there other way to flush the queue? Is restarting qmail enough? I don't have /service/qmail-send either.

 

I do have a qmail-send executable under /var/qmail/bin. So how can I send ALRM signal to qmail-send?

under /service directory I only have qmail and smtpfront-qmail. So I am not able to run ./svc -a /service/qmail-send, as many suggested.
 
there's svc and supervise under /usr/local/bin but not qmail or qmail-send
 
Assuming that your qmail executables are located in /var/qmail/bin, the processes used the flush the queue would be

# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-tcpok
# svc -a /var/qmail/bin/qmail-send

A copy of what the qmailctl file does can be found at


Hope this helps
