What is the difference between "sendmail running" and "sendmail -bg running" ? Is it the same thing ?
 
I believe those are flags that sendmail was started with. If you have a man page for sendmail it should tell you what those mean or that is where I just found it anyway.

-bd
Starts the sendmail command as a daemon running in the background as a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) mail router.
