Description Dustin C. Hatch 2017-03-10 23:04:00 UTC

When /bin/sh does not point to bash, the following errors are printed when starting /etc/init.d/exim:

/lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: 19: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: [[: not found
/lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: 19: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: /var/spool/exim/db/retry: Permission denied
/lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: 19: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: [[: not found

/lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: 19: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: Permission denied

These are caused by using the non-standard [[ command:

[[ ${db} == *".lockfile" || ${db} == *"*" ]] && continue

Fortunately, this can easily be replaced with a case statement.
