I recently started working on configuring my exim4 under Sid
and started getting failures when attempting to restart the
daemon. I added shell traces to /etc/init.d/exim4 and get the
following:
muse:/etc/exim4# /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA:+ case ${QUEUERUNNER} in
+ start_daemon -p /var/run/exim4/exim.pid /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m '' '' ''
+ local force nice pidfile exec i
+ force=0
+ nice=0
+ pidfile=/dev/null
+ OPTIND=1
+ getopts fn:p: opt
+ case "$opt" in
+ pidfile=/var/run/exim4/exim.pid
+ getopts fn:p: opt
+ shift 2
+ '[' /usr/sbin/exim4 = -- ']'
+ exec=/usr/sbin/exim4
+ shift
+ '[' 0 = 1 ']'
+ '[' /var/run/exim4/exim.pid ']'
+ /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/exim4
--oknodo --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid -- -bd -q30m '' '' ''
