Description Christian Loitsch 2002-03-14 10:09:31 UTC

if EXIM_OPTS is e.g. set to -bd only.

Easy fix:
change stop to
stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping exim"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/exim.pid*
        eend $?
}

This appears to have done it.
stop() {
   ebegin "Stopping exim"
      start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/exim
   eend $?
}

stop() {
   ebegin "Stopping exim"
      start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/exim
   eend $?
}

This should fix it, at least with exim-4. If anyone tests this with exim-3 let
me know so I can close this.

Fixed. The new initscript works great.
