    That's not needed.  You can roll it all into one line (plus the 
MSA).  The relevant piece of my Red Hat init looks like this:

==========
   echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
   daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta $([ "$DAEMON" = yes ] && echo -bd) \
                                       $([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q$QUEUE) \
                                       -X /var/log/sm-mta
   RETVAL=$?
   echo
   [ $RETVAL -ne 0 ] && exit 1

   echo -n $"Starting $prog queue: "
   # smmsp user does not have permission to write to /var/run, do it 
manually
   /bin/touch /var/run/sm-msp.pid
   /bin/chown smmsp.smmsp /var/run/sm-msp.pid
   daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac \
                                       $([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q$QUEUE) \
                                       -X /var/log/sm-msp

   RETVAL=$?
   echo
   [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/sendmail
   return $RETVAL
==========

    Which, when all the variables are filled in, you're looking at:

        /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q1m
        /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1m
