Although the daemon won't pick up the new config file until you do
this, other exim processes (specifically delivery processes which are
started from scratch to regain privileges) will pick up the new config.

You would do better to extend the script so it takes a config file you
give it, runs a check on it - using the -C to ref the new file - and
then move it into place if its OK.
