Yup, I find Makefile works rather nicely. Edit the file and type make in the
directory, new configuration gets copied in (if it has changed) and the daemon
gets hupped. (This method also allows me to make subtle changes between
configs when replicating through a server farm or cluster).
That said, you and I do this for a living and maybe that is not who Nigel is
talking about ....

(For those interested - something like in a Makefile, configure.master is the
config you edit
configure: configure.master
cp -p configure.master configure; killall -HUP exim
What I do is a wee bit more complex but that is the gist of it.
