I am running exim 2.04 on Solaris 2.51. I have it started via
/etc/rc.2/S88sendmail. What I noticed is that after a short while I get
the following: What is causing this <defunct> process ??? - I don't
recall seeing this behaviour with 2.03 or 2.02.
Also, if I stop exim and restart it I always get this <defunct> process
- I am using the pid from the exim.pid file to kill the process.
Thanks.
Imran.
