In a backup script for SysV init system I used to: 1. stop exim MTA, /etc/init.d/exim stop 2. run exim in queue-only mode: /etc/init.d/exim queue 3. stop imap MDA. 4. option: enable file-system snapshot feature 5. create backup of locally delivered files. 6. option: clean up after snapshotting. 7. start imap MDA. 8. stop exim in queue-only mode, /etc/init.d/exim stop 9. start exim MTA in normal mode, /etc/init.d/exim start
Now, in a systemd based system the "/etc/init.d/exim queue" command is missing. And I can't find a "systemctl queue exim.service" equivalent. Can I just replace this step with: "/usr/sbin/exim -bd -odq" ? Or do you recommend another approach?
