This is used to bring this toolkit into maintenance mode.
If this parameter is set to yes, then it enables the
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
maintenance feature in the toolkit. Sendmail toolkit
searches the sendmail.debug file in the Sendmail
package file directory where all the Sendmail toolkit
files reside.
If the file exists, monitoring is paused, and you can bring
down Sendmail for maintenance. The package does
not fail over to the adoptive node even though Sendmail
instance is brought down for maintenance.
After the maintenance work, ensure that Sendmail is
brought up. You must delete the sendmail.debug file
in the package directory. This enables the toolkit to
continue monitoring Sendmail server application.
NOTE: If the Maintenance flag is set to no, then this
feature does not work.
