Just beware if you decide to invoke exim as two seperate processes,
one as a queue runner (exim -q10m) and a seperate daemon (exim -bd)
as only the most recently started proc will be in the file....
I tend to run a slightly more expensive, but ultimately safer
script:
exiwhat | grep daemon | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq | xargs kill -1
Not a purist's approach, but rather a pragmatist's :-)
